What You Need To Know From Your Periodontist Now That It’s 2015!

 

1.     Periodontal Disease is still detrimental to you. Okay, well this isn’t new news, but we want to keep this at the forefront of your brain. Periodontal disease causes inflammation in the gum tissue.

2.     Your dental insurance benefits have started over. Usually your insurance company allocates a certain amount of money to dental work. If you ran out or are not sure if you have money available contact your insurance company and get the treatment scheduled to get your smile back on track.

3.     Dr. Rice and her team are well rested and ready to help you. We enjoyed the holidays and hope you did as well. Now that we’ve all enjoyed some extra sugar it’s important to take care of making sure you rid your mouth of any bacteria left over from the holidays.

4.     Take time to rest. If you were busy this holiday season take time to rest in the dental chair of the periodontal office. We would be happy to allow you a short nap while we work on getting your gums healthy again.

5.     Don’t worry about shedding those pounds. After your appointment it may take awhile before you can eat again. Just kidding – we pride ourselves on providing some numbing agents to help facilitate a more comfortable treatment. 

Happy New Year!
