Non-Surgical Periodontal Care in Newtown, Bucks County, PA

When inflammation progresses beyond a particular area and becomes generalized, you may notice puffy, tender gums. This early infection is known as “Gingivitis”. Gingivitis is synonymous with Gum Infection. The good news about Gingivitis is that the infection has not begun to attack the supportive bone structure, meaning the bone that keeps our teeth securely in our dental arches. When patients have treatment for Gingivitis Therapy, there is a great chance of recovering nicely and moving forward to a healthier condition. With our periodic professional help, your daily maintenance is going to be the key!

Now, if the infection has affected the supportive bone structure, this is called Periodontal Disease. Periodontal Disease is a silent infection and the number one reason why adults lose their teeth. This is sad because Periodontal Disease is totally preventable with a bit of awareness and early intervention!

Your first clue is becoming aware. If you see PINK in the SINK after brushing, it is a sign that bleeding is occurring. Bleeding occurs when there is an infection going on somewhere in your mouth. Bleeding is not normal. If your body was bleeding somewhere else, you’d be concerned. Your awareness is key to getting intervention. Another clue may come from someone kindly whispering to you that your breath is smelling bad.

Of greater importance with periodontal disease is understanding that bleeding gums are a sign of infection. Your gums are leaky, and this allows infection to flow via the circulatory system to other parts of the body. Periodontal Disease is a main component of the Oral Systemic Connection and is associated with Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Pulmonary Disease, Dementia, Low Birth Weight Babies, and a surprising number of other systemic diseases.

Studies have proven that the health of the mouth has a reflection on the health of the body.
Our goal as a Complete Health Dental provider is to keep you healthier and that begins with a healthy mouth – free of infections! When infection is present, we will speak of our Non-Surgical Soft Tissue Therapy Program.

Highly recommend Dr. Lantzy! I have such bad experiences with dentists, but the staff was a huge breath of fresh air. They were kind, warm and caring and made me feel at such ease. I wasn’t rushed like other places I’ve been to and they took the time to make sure I left satisfied with the work done.
