Gum Disease Therapy

Statistics show gum disease affects 75% of the general population and causes 70% of all adult tooth loss. The disease results when plaque and tarter that buildup below the gum line cause a chronic infection. Plaque releases acids that deteriorate the gum and bone tissue over time, causing the gums to pull away from the teeth. We take gum disease seriously and take measures to prevent it from ever starting.

Symptoms of gum disease include:

• Tender, swollen gums
• Bleeding gums
• Pockets between teeth
• Chronic bad breath
• Puss between teeth
• Loose teeth
• Changes in the way teeth fit together

If you have gum disease, we will track and chart the progress and offer conservative, non-surgical therapies to prevent further infection. Dr. Hwang and our team will closely monitor and evaluate patients with gum disease at each visit, intervening before surgery becomes the only option.

Dr. Michael Hwang's Hartford dental office serves the East Hartford area of Connecticut with comprehensive care for sensational smiles. Call today to reserve your appointment and experience state-of-the-art dental care for your entire family.
