Non-Surgical Gum Therapy

Periodontal Disease (gum disease) begins without warning. In early stages, it causes sore gums that bleed easily and persistent bad breath. As it progresses, teeth loosen and are eventually lost.

The health of your gums is vitally important to your overall health. Recent studies indicate that bacteria related to gum disease can travel throughout the body and contribute to health risks such as coronary artery disease, stroke, and low birth weight babies.

Dr. Chan includes a careful regime of gum therapy into each visit. If indication of gum disease exists, he will discuss treatment to restore your mouth to a healthy state.
