Gum disease can harm the bone in your jaw. In less severe cases the gums are continually puffy and may bleed when you brush.

As the disease takes hold, the bone around the roots of the teeth begins to dissolve.

Bone erosion is quite typical during the aging process. Even so, it is a major reason for eventually losing your teeth.

Before, folks would usually see their teeth falling out after 50 years old. That is why your grand-dad wears a denture.

But we sincerely hope you don't have to end up like that. I have to tell you, though, the denture we do today is so much more superior because we have the skills to make it secure in the mouth by doing dental implants - but more on that some other time.

What we can often do is gum therapy without an operation, which is what they did before. Gum therapy cleans up the deposits that are in the gum pockets. There is not much that can be done even with brushing to effectively remove the deposits. There are bacteria that eat deep into these pockets. The bacteria produce a lot of waste that cause the bone to erode.

We can do Westland gum disease treatment to stop any more bone loss and eliminate your infection.

Moreover, I'd like to inform you about how dental implants can assist in keeping remaining natural teeth even if some have already fallen out or you have crowns that need to be replaced.
