Healthier Smiles in Woodlands Texas With Periodontal Treatments for Both Gums and Body

Your gums might seems small and insignificant but if they become infected, the infection could make you very sick! Gum disease has been linked to heart attacks, strokes, diabetic concerns, pregnancy complications, joint replacement issues, immune system disorders, obesity and even cancer. It’s clear that diagnosing and treating periodontal disease early is crucial for continued health. I encourage at least twice-yearly check-ups to measure gum pockets and check for infection. Regular cleanings are also tremendously important especially if you  smoke, have diabetes, suffer from stress, clench or grind your teeth, take certain medications or suffer from poor nutrition. If we do discover signs of gum disease, we can treat you with our gentle and  effective periodontal protocol.
