Periodontal Care
Taking care of the teeth and gums through a conscientious program of daily brushing, flossing, and rinsing can prevent the need for periodontal care from a professional, but there are other conditions that can affect the health of the mouth. These include:
- Genetics (family history)
- Diabetes
- Stress
- Medications
- Bruxism (clenching or grinding the teeth)
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Smoking or tobacco usage
- Pregnancy and puberty
When any of these factors cause or contribute to problems with the teeth or gums, an examination by Dr. Brown can provide solutions and treatment to restore your dental health.
