Periodontal Screening

Gum disease affects about 50% off all adults in the U.S. Many people dismiss gum disease and don’t seek treatment. Dr. Laguatan takes your periodontal health seriously and will work with you to prevent gum disease, or, if you already have this chronic disease, stop it from progressing.

Preventing gum disease is not hard. A consistent home care routine combined with regular professional cleanings at our office will keep gum disease away. During your appointment, if Dr. Laguatan notices any signs of early gum disease, he’ll let you know right away and give recommendations to help you avoid developing the condition. These may include; additional cleanings, antimicrobial products, or changing your brushing and flossing technique.

If you already have periodontal disease, Yorkville Family Dental will work to bring it under control. Deep cleanings are one of the simplest and most effective treatments for removing infection and making sure your teeth and gums stay disease free.
