Preventative Dentistry:
M. Todd Bonin, DDS |
Our office prides itself in its highly trained, experienced, and friendly dental hygiene staff. Even if you consider yourself an “expert” brusher and flosser, plaque and tartar still builds up in many hard to reach areas including gum pockets. If not removed, and allowed to build up over time, this might lead to:
|
- gingivitis
- periodontitis (gum disease)
- pulling away of the gums from the teeth
- underlying bone destruction
- tooth mobility & loss
- infection
- and halitosis (bad breath)
