Your Questions

How do I know when it is time to come in for a check up? My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about? I want straighter teeth, but I do not want to wear braces. What would you recommend? Do you offer financing options? Will you care for my entire family?

My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about?

Red, swollen, bleeding gums may be signs of periodontal disease, the primary reason that adult Americans lose teeth. Also called gum disease, periodontal disease has been linked to increased risk for stroke, heart disease, low-weight births, and complications for diabetics. Call or e-mail us right away for a periodontal screening before this pervasive infection gets out of hand. Learn more about gum disease in our patient library.
