Periodontal Disease
Protecting Your Gums & Teeth in Monett
Periodontal or gum disease can sneak up on you, even if you have very good dental hygiene habits. That’s why regular visits to our Monett dentist office are necessary for maintaining your dental health. This disease starts right below the gum line and begins to degrade the connective tissue and the root of the tooth, creating pockets.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
You might be a candidate for gum or periodontal disease if you have:
- A history of smoking or tobacco use
- Certain types of medication
- Bridges that do not fit correctly
- Defective fillings
- Diseases like diabetes that affects the entire body
