Periodontics is one of the major subsets of dentistry, focusing on maintaining the health of structures around your teeth-your gums and bone. Alpine Dental pays close attention to these structures during routine checkups and cleanings. The payoffs for healthy periodontal tissue are a lower likelihood of losing your teeth to gum disease if left untreated and better overall maintenance of oral health, since your gums and bones are just as important as your teeth.
The primary cause of gum disease is the buildup of plaque, a film of bacteria. This can be controlled with adequate brushing and flossing. Some benefits derived from good oral health include:
Alpine Dental offers several treatments aimed at reversing the advancement of gum disease for healthier mouths. These include:
We offer simple restorations besides cleanings and exams, including fillings, sealants, inlays, and onlays, implants, bridges, crowns, root canals, oral surgery procedures, custom-made dentures, and emergency care services. We are easily accessible at our two locations in Gaithersburg and Kensington, MD.
