Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common condition that can lead to serious problems, such as tooth loss, if left untreated. Gum disease starts when plaque builds up on the teeth. When left unattended, the plaque hardens, damages the teeth and gums, and leads to pockets between the teeth and gums where more bacteria can build up. There are different stages of periodontal disease. It begins as gingivitis. This stage is characterized by swollen, red gums that may bleed when brushing and flossing. If untreated, gingivitis further progresses into periodontitis. During this phase, the gums and bones become damaged. … Continue reading

Eventually the tooth becomes loose, or an infection may become so bad that treatment cannot save the tooth.

Video Transcript

Hi, before I come to see Doctor Rina and her amazing staff, I was actually someone that had not gone to the dentist for a while because I was so stressed and very worried and anxious about it.
I had been recommended about her from other people and kept in the back of my mind. I finally made the call and from the first call the reception was absolutely amazing and made me feel at home. I let them know right away, I was really anxious. This is when I came in to see the doctor, Doctor Rena was amazing. She went through everything with me. I wouldn’t even smile when I walked in, she noticed I wouldn’t smile. I had had temporary caps on my front teeth for a really, really long time, so she took me through what her options were and it wasn’t good enough that it was just like here’s ABC. She wanted to make sure that we had gone too. A specialist to make sure mines a little bit more, more, issues. Having had root canal treatments on my front teeth and I went ahead, came back and again she sat down with me and gave me all of my options. What’s best for me? What can we do? What can we expect long term? Everyone here is so nice and warm they from the time I walked in for all my appointments they were all. How are you, Paula? How’s everything going? And you just feel like you’re part of a family and made me really feel at ease within a month and a half, She had me smiling like I am now. It was great, my friends, my family, my work people. They all notice exactly just how much more confident I am that I can smile. And honestly, it’s with her and because of the team here. And I found a place I can come back to and now really put my dental health as a priority. So, I definitely recommend her if there’s anything that you’ve left or you just need help on or you’re just looking for a place that you can come and feel comfortable. I definitely say, come to see Doctor Rina.
