Gum Disease

— American River Dental

A Healthy Body Requires A Healthy Mouth

Studies have shown links between periodontal (gum) disease, heart disease and other health conditions. Research suggests that gum disease may be a more serious risk factor for heart disease than hypertension, smoking, cholesterol, gender and ages. Learning how to identify gum disease and how to treat it is critical in maintaining a healthy mouth and a healthy body.

If you have any questions about how you can have a healthy, attractive smile like many of our other patients, please contact us today.
