Avoiding gum disease is easy


Gum disease is nothing to smile about



Also known as “periodontal disease,” gum disease is a bacterial infection that is very common in adults past the age of 30.  This infection of the gum tissue and bone is one of the main reasons for adult tooth loss.  Once diagnosed, gum disease can be effectively treated with a deep cleaning followed by routine checkups and instruction for home care to prevent a recurrence.  

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is imperative that you make an appointment  as soon as possible. 

• Bad Breath 

• Bleeding Gums (especially when brushing/flossing)

• Inflammation of the Gums 

• Swelling and/or Tenderness of the Gums

• Separation of the Gums and Teeth 

• Tooth Loss

Proper preventative care is the key

Regular dental checkups and cleanings do more than just make your smile look good!  Did you know that poor dental hygiene can not only lead to gum disease and tooth decay, but potentially more serious conditions like heart attacks and strokes?  We recommend dental cleanings once every six months as a preventative measure against dental and other diseases.  Our caring staff ensures your visit will be comfortable and easy.  We use the latest, state-of-the-art equipment so you know that you are receiving the very best care available.

If it has been a while since your last appointment or you are worried about gum disease, call Dr. Vermet today at 313-882-2300 for a consultation and put your mind at ease!
