Looking for Gum Disease Treatment in Newport Beach?
Why see a dentist like Andrew Mortensen, Andrew G. Mortensen, DDS, Inc. in Newport Beach? What kind of gum disease treatment options can he offer? What would the effects of periodontal (gum) disease be on your mouth and body if you neglect your gums?
Have you noticed loose teeth, bad breath, bleeding gums, or large open or closed spaces between your teeth and gum line (commonly referred to as "pockets")? Did you know that, if left untreated, gum disease such as gingivitis can lead to bone loss or decay in your mouth or even a heart attack from the potentially invasive bacterial infection that characterizes gum disease? As one of Newport Beach's most highly-regarded dentists, Dr. Mortensen has the experience to offer the most effective periodontal gum disease treatment options.
Dr. Mortensen may suggest surgical treatment to regenerate bone that has decayed or to close pockets and make them free of gum disease infection. Or he may be able to help you with non-surgical treatment options such as scaling and root planing, which is a deep cleaning of pockets to avoid a deep gum disease infection. Either way, regular appointments are recommended even after the first treatment and can help you avoid reoccurrence or new gum disease infection.
There's no such thing as gum disease that can be ignored. Even if it's not painful in the beginning, the greater concern is the long-term effect that gum disease can have on your mouth and body. That's why Dr. Andrew Mortensen and his caring attitude and years of experience can literally save your beautiful smile - and perhaps even your life! So call Andrew G.
