Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is the most common disease known to mankind. 75% of all adults have had it or will have it at some time. If left unchecked and untreated, periodontal disease will lead to tooth loss and adversely affect your smile. Periodontal disease has also been shown to increase the risk of heart disease.
Riverstone Dental Care is committed to preventing and eliminating this destructive disease among our patients. Periodontal disease is caused by a large buildup of the bacteria found in plaque, which erode the soft tissues of the mouth.
