Gum Disease Treatment in Huntington Station: Detect and Treat It Early
Why see a dentist like Salvatore Tangredi, Salvatore J Tangredi DDS in Huntington Station? What kind of gum disease treatment options can he offer? What would the effects of periodontal (gum) disease be on your mouth and body if you neglect your gums?
At Salvatore J Tangredi DDS we know that the most common cause of gum disease is trapped bacteria, and that regular periodontal treatment can prevent not only reoccurring or new cases of gum disease, it can even prevent heart attacks brought on by this potentially invasive bacterial infection. It can also help prevent bone loss or decay in the mouth! Dr. Tangredi has had extensive training and experience to offer the latest and most effective gum disease treatment options.
Bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth, and pockets (extra space between teeth and gums) are just a few signs of gum disease such as gingivitis. Dr. Tangredi can offer you non-surgical gum disease treatment options such as scaling and root planing (removing plaque from deep pockets or abscesses) which, as bacteria and plaque will continue to build over time, require regular appointments to avoid full-scale gingivitis. If the gum disease is very extensive or the pockets lend themselves to quick infection or decay, Dr. Salvatore Tangredi may suggest periodontal surgery to correct these spaces and/or regrow any missing bone matter.
There's no such thing as gum disease that can be ignored. Even if it's not painful in the beginning, the greater concern is the long-term effect that gum disease can have on your mouth and body. That's why Dr. Salvatore Tangredi and his caring attitude and years of experience can literally save your beautiful smile - and perhaps even your life! So call Salvatore J Tangredi DDS or complete the online form to make a gum disease treatment appointment!
Why should everyone in Huntington Station be concerned about early treatment and prevention of gum disease such as gingivitis? Although early symptoms such as bad breath and bleeding gums may seem mild, infected gums can lead to bone loss in the jaw or even heart attacks.
