– Infections in the mouth such as periodontal (gum) disease
– Respiratory-tract infections such as throat infections, sinus infections, lung infections
– External agents including foods such as garlic, onions, and coffee, as well as cigarettes and chewing tobacco
– Dry mouth caused by salivary gland problems or by breathing through the mouth

Call our office promptly if you have bad breath with painful, swollen gums that bleed easily or loose teeth. We will perform a physical examination of your mouth to determine the cause. If we discover that systematic problems are the cause, we may refer you to your family physician. In severe cases of gum disease, we may recommend a specialized periodontist.

I love this dental practice and have had a lot of experience with them. Every attention to detail meets all my expectations. I know if something were to go up side down they take care of it. They are friendly and always on top of the details. I ask many questions and they are very patient. Also for any patient who has any fears about seeing a dentist this practice is the place to go, they are so gentle and caring and honestly just about pain free. They care!!!
