The time to take care of your gums and teeth is now! If you're experiencing symptoms like bad breath or swollen, bleeding gums, you may be dealing with gum disease. But don't worry - at the office of Michael J. Murray, DDS, we offer a comprehensive range of services to help you maintain strong, healthy gums and keep your smile looking its best.
When it comes to periodontal health, the stakes are higher than you might think. Not only is gum disease the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, but recent research has also established links between poor oral health and a variety of medical problems, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, respiratory issues, and more.
Just like tooth decay, gum disease is caused by the build-up of bacteria, plaque, and tartar around your teeth and under your gums. If left untreated, this can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and eventually the loosening and loss of teeth. But fear not - maintaining good oral hygiene at home, along with regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings from our skilled hygienists, can help prevent these issues.
At the office of Michael J. Murray, DDS, we're dedicated to providing you with the guidance, support, and care needed to maintain optimal periodontal health. To learn more about our practice and the many services we offer, give us a call today.
