Periodontist In Stratford, CT
Periodontal dentistry focuses on the supporting structures around your teeth. Even the healthiest tooth will be lost unless it has a strong foundation. When these tissues are not healthy, patients suffer from periodic infections which increase the rate of bone loss. In fact, gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Healthy gums are a crucial aspect of maintaining good oral health.
Why Periodontics?
Symptoms of gingivitis, the most common form of gum disease, include gums that:
- are painful to the touch
- are swollen

- bleed easily, especially during flossing or brushing
