Gum Disease
Teeth Cleaning, Whitening, Extractions, Cavities and More in Overland Park!
Periodontal (gum) disease is caused by bacteria from the plaque and tartar that accumulate on your teeth. Flossing and brushing help get rid of plaque, but plaque that is not removed can become more harmful if allowed to progress. The bacteria can cause inflammation, and periodontal disease may lead to damage and loss of the teeth, gum tissue and supporting bone. In severe cases, untreated gum disease may be linked to several serious medical conditions, including:
- Stroke
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Pregnancy complications
Our experienced dentists and team are committed to your smile, oral health and comfort. We provide personalized dentistry and want you to leave our office feeling like the best version of yourself.
