Gum Therapy Treatments in Lakewood, CO

Improve Gum Health With Our Help

Did you know that your gums play an essential role in your overall health? It may be easy to overlook taking proper care of your gums, but understanding how they provide stability and support for your teeth is vital. They act as a protective seal between your teeth and your jawbone. Raines Over The Rockies Family Dentistry makes gum treatments simple.

Many factors contribute to bacterial growth on our teeth and gums, like food and drink, genetics, and brushing habits. If left untreated, the results are painful and dangerous infections in your gum tissue, known as periodontitis or gingivitis. Have you noticed these common symptoms of gum disease?:

• Consistent dry mouth or bad breath
• Bleeding after brushing or flossing
• Sore, tender, or swollen gums
• Sensitive teeth
• Pain when chewing

If you're dealing with any of those gum issues, please call us right away. We're here to help you improve your dental habits.

Why Gum Disease Is Dangerous

Gum disease should not be ignored. There is increasing research that shows a solid link between periodontal disease and the increased risk of:

• Alzheimer's disease
• Heart disease and heart attacks
• High blood pressure and stroke
• Diabetes and diabetic complications

When left untreated, gum disease will cause tooth loss and irreversible bone loss in the jaw. Don't take a risk with your gums! Call Raines Over The Rockies Family Dentistry today for the treatments you need.
