- Bad breath- Don't blame the strong food you ate for lunch. Poor oral health is the major cause for chronic halitosis, and it can be a warning sign of gum disease, so if you have bad breath, we should take a look.
- Tooth decay- Plaque bacteria produce acids that attack tooth enamel, and if not removed from teeth via brushing and flossing, cavities will form. We can fill cavities, but they can severely compromise teeth, the only part of the body that can't heal itself.
- Canker sores- Their cause is unknown, but stress, diet, and weakened immunity can all play a part in their formation. If they persist, visit us as they can warn of other oral and overall health issues.
- Gum disease- Gingivitis is often caused by poor oral hygiene, and if left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis. If you have red, swollen, bleeding gums, bad breath, mouth infections, or loose teeth, see Rubino Dentistry immediately, or your local health professional. Gum disease is treatable and sometimes it is reversible!
- Receding gums OR gummy smile- Gum sculpting can fix a gummy smile, but if your gums are receding, you may have periodontitis. We can help stop further damage and make reparations.
If you have oral health concerns, don't wait for them to escalate. Come and see our Park Ridge dental office!
