Gum Care and Disease prevention in Dallas, Texas
Your teeth aren’t the only thing we care about at the office of Dr. Nolley in Dallas. We are concerned with the health of your entire mouth and we are dedicated to helping you prevent periodontal (gum) disease. Periodontal disease is caused by a build-up of plaque and calculus (tartar) on the teeth and gums. When left untreated, this build-up will cause periodontal disease and, eventually, tooth, gum, and bone loss. Periodontal disease has also been linked to:
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Stroke
- Diabetes
Maintaining a good oral hygiene routine is absolutely essential to avoid periodontal disease. This routine should include brushing and flossing daily, maintaining a healthy and balanced diet, and visiting the dentist on a regular basis for your cleanings and exams.
