Prevention Is the Key to Your Healthy Smile

Your preventive biannual dental cleanings and checkups in Dedham are the best way we can help you protect your beautiful smile.

During your teeth cleanings, our hygienist removes the plaque buildup from your teeth that you might’ve missed at home. Plaque and bacteria that build up on your teeth throughout the day can contribute to problems like tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.

During your examination with Dr. Taejoon Park or Dr. Yaerin Lee, they’ll check the health of your current dental restorations for any breakdown that could lead to future concerns. They also let you know if there are any early signs of tooth decay or gum disease that could be problematic. The earlier we detect dental concerns, the easier they are to treat.

Did you know that the leading cause of tooth loss in American adults is actually periodontal disease? Also known as gum disease, it is a prevalent problem, as nearly half of adults over 30 suffer from it in one form or another. Preventive dentistry is one of the best ways to protect your dental health and overall health. Science has found many links between gum disease and many other chronic systemic health concerns, such as:

• Heart disease
• Type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Complications during pregnancy
• Stroke
• Dementia
• Low birth weight in babies

Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease. If you have gingivitis, you may notice that you have chronic bad breath you can't get rid of, red or swollen gums, or that there's bleeding when you brush or floss your teeth. When we detect gingivitis early, many patients are able to reverse their condition with a professional teeth cleaning and some improvements to their home care routine. 

Periodontitis is advanced gum disease, and this is when your teeth may be feeling mobile, or you have pain or tenderness when you're chewing and eating. Treating periodontitis typically requires a deep cleaning to remove the plaque and tartar buildup causing your infection. Patients with severe periodontitis may also need surgery and antibiotic therapy to combat their infection. 

At Dental Park, we focus on prevention to help our patients avoid gum disease, but we also offer gum disease treatment in Dedham for patients working to manage their gum health.
