Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral disease prevention and practicing good oral health is important to your overall health. We highly stress that you visit us regularly, brush twice a day, floss once a day, and replace your toothbrush regularly. This can help prevent periodontal disease. However, if you have red or swollen gums, have difficulty chewing, persistent bad breath, or loose teeth, you should come in for an exam. In order to identify periodontal disease, we perform a comprehensive examination including x-rays and periodontal charting. If we detect periodontal disease, we will discuss your treatment options as well as proper home care to help minimize bone loss and restore the health of your gums.
