Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal diseases occur in the tissues of your teeth’s roots. Poor oral hygiene habits can lead to plaque formation, which over time can harden to form tartar. It can accumulate in your gum lines, and the bacteria penetrates your teeth roots leading to periodontal diseases. At an advanced stage, this disease can cause sore and bleeding gums, pain while chewing, and even teeth loss. Hence it is essential to brush your teeth properly twice a day and floss between them. Visit your dentist at least once every six months to ensure your oral health. In this way, you will be able to keep your teeth free from all types of periodontal problems. If you are still having issues with your gums or teeth, contact us at Doral Dental Specialty Center in Doral, FL.
