How do you Floss?

It is recommended to use enough floss to enable easy use, usually ten or more inches with three to four inches of taut floss to put between teeth. Floss is then wrapped around the middle finger and/or index finger, and supported with the thumb on each hand. It is then held tightly to make taut, and then gently moved up and down between each tooth.

What does bone loss look like?

When you have gum disease the bacteria in your mouth can cause the bone holding your tooth into your gums to disenigrate. Making your teeth loose and can even lead to them falling out. 

Since you can't see the bone loss with out X-Rays the picture below shows the difference between a healthy tooth and one showing bone loss from Gun (Periodontal) Disease.

Gum Disease is NOT a Minor Infection

Gum Disease can affect the overall health of your body.  Studies show that it can contribute to heart and respiratory disease, stroke, diabetes and many more...

The longer you let the infection breed in your mouth the more damage it can cause.  If you notice redness and inflamation in your mouth it's time to contact your dentist. 

We offer free consults, to schedule give us a call
