Leaders in the dental industry, Drs. Griffin and Reed are always on the lookout for every dental opportunity they can offer to make your experience a positive one. Here are a few examples.

Periodontal Therapy

What you don’t know can’t hurt you, right? Wrong! 35.7 million Americans are living with a bacterial infection of the gums known as periodontal disease. Many think this disease, commonly called gum disease, is common and harmless. It’s common but it’s definitely not harmless! Your oral health affects your entire body. For example, emerging research directly links periodontal disease with diabetes, heart disease, and low birth weight

So, if you have been diagnosed with and treated for periodontal (gum) disease, regularly scheduled supportive therapy is vitally important to your success in management of disease progression. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, “following a course of active periodontal treatment and periodic ongoing care at regularly prescribed intervals is essential.  Because periodontal disease or infection can recur, continuous maintenance is absolutely necessary to prevent this periodontal infection from becoming active once again and destroying what healing has occurred.”

Nightguard

This can help prevent grinding and excessive wear of your teeth while also allowing you to rest better. We want you to enjoy life, sleep well and keep your teeth healthy for a lifetime.
