What’s the Real Threat of Gingivitis?

If you’ve never had gingivitis, then it may not seem serious. If you do have it, then it may seem as though you have plenty of time to address it before it does grow more severe.

Fortunately, you can mitigate the threat of gingivitis by addressing the condition as soon as it develops. With proper care and maintenance, you have an excellent chance at controlling gingivitis and gum disease as early as possible. (more…)

What Prosthetic Dentistry Does for Your Smile

When a tooth is in trouble, restorative dental treatment can often save it. By restoring the tooth’s health and integrity, stopping it from receiving further damage, and/or preventing an infection from growing worse, you have a good chance at saving your tooth.
