Your Comfort Is Our Priority!
The tissues and bones that surround and support the teeth are referred to as the periodontium. An infection in this area is called periodontal disease. Many people in Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Irvine, and all throughout the world suffer from periodontal disease. The Loft Dental Studio is skilled at detecting periodontal disease at its earliest stages and addressing the best ways for you to combat this problem.
Periodontal disease will not go away on its own. A thorough cleaning from a dental office and further instructions on how to best restore your mouth to its optimum functionality are required.
What Is Periodontal Disease?
Before periodontal disease occurs, plaque that has not been removed from your teeth turns into a hard substance called tartar. Tartar can not be removed by brushing and flossing alone and needs to be addressed by a dentist.
When that tartar is not properly cleaned away from where your gums meet your teeth, your gums may become infected and start to recede. As your teeth and gums begin to separate, they leave spaces that can become infected.
