Healthy Gums Are Where A Healthy Smile Starts

Why gums come first here

Gum disease is quiet. It rarely hurts in the early stages, so most people do not know it is there until it has already done damage. At every cleaning we measure the little pockets around each tooth and watch for bleeding, because those numbers tell us how your gums are really doing long before you would feel a thing.

When we catch early gum disease, a course of gentle deep cleaning below the gumline clears the bacteria and lets the tissue heal. For most patients, bleeding settles within a couple of visits, and a steady maintenance rhythm keeps it that way.

A rhythm that keeps gums calm

The bacteria that drive gum trouble come back within about ninety days of a cleaning, which is why patients with a gum-health history do best on a three or four month schedule rather than the standard six. Our in-house gum-care membership is built exactly around that rhythm, so keeping your gums calm never becomes a guessing game or a surprise on the bill.
