Columbia's First Choice for Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease is the most prevalent of dental problems. It begins with bad breath and can lead to the loss of teeth. But periodontal disease can be kept at bay, or better yet, avoided all together. Your smile is most important tool in your career, your personal life and your happiness. Columbia dentist, Dr. Teresa Adams can help you battle this dangerous enemy.

Dr. Adams will tell you that there two types of gum disease. The first, which is reversible, is gingivitis. With gingivitis, the gums are the only thing affected. This is what causes the first major symptom of gum disease - bad breath. However, left untreated, gingivitis can lead to more serious problems.

Some of the factors that increase the risk of developing gum disease include tobacco use, diabetes, some medications, ill-fitting bridges, crooked teeth, bad fillings and pregnancy. This list, of course, is not all inclusive. At Soft Touch Dental Care we know that avoiding these risks could be paramount in the prevention of gum disease.

For an initial gum disease consultation, call Dr. Teresa Adams today at Soft Touch Dental Care or submit our online form.

However, you are not helpless in this never-ending battle. Other than daily brushing and flossing, what else can you do. First, twice-a-year visits to Dr. Adams in Columbia should be in your arsenal. Also, if you are a smoker or you chew tobacco - STOP! If your fillings have loosened, increase your visits to the dentist. Finally, a healthy diet should be in your bag of tricks. Dr. Adams can help with your battle plan. In no time at all, your friends will be asking, "What are you up to? You are always smiling."
