Your fantastic smile won't last unless it rests on a solid foundation. Preventive and general dental services involve a full-mouth evaluation, cleaning of teeth and gums, an oral cancer screening, and home-care education. Typically, we schedule general dental appointments twice a year, which will include a review of your current oral health condition and any recommendations we have. The more informed you are about your teeth and gums, the healthier you can keep your smile long-term.
Did you know that four out of five adults have gum, or periodontal, disease, and most of these people don't realize they have this problem? Untreated, gum disease, a serious bacterial infection, will slowly destroy the attachment of your teeth to the gums and bone, eventually causing the tooth loss. In addition, research has shown a link between periodontal disease and other health issues, such as cardiovascular (heart) disease, osteoporosis, stroke, and pregnancy complications.
General dentist Dr. Nadler will perform a complete exam to look for signs of gum disease or other issues like tooth decay. If he finds a problem, he will develop a treatment plan to restore your oral health. Regular professional cleanings, which include periodontal examinations, and adequate home care generally control gum disease. For more advanced cases, our office offers various remedies. In the last few years, the use of antibiotic therapy right at the site of the infection has given us another successful option.
At Designs for Dental Health, our passion is your smile. Call our Hillsborough dental office today to schedule a consultation or appointment with Dr. Nadler. Located in Hillsborough, we welcome residents from Princeton, Somerville, Somerset, Flemington, Montgomery, and throughout New Jersey.
