Keeping your smile healthy.

Left untreated, periodontal (gum) disease is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults. What’s more, scientific evidence suggests that periodontal disease may be related to serious health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, atherosclerosis and premature birth weight. However, Drs. Pike and Valega offer advanced nonsurgical programs to treat gum disease, including scaling and root planing. They can also treat bacteria in deep gum pockets between the teeth and gums with time-released antibiotics.
