Everyone Deserves Happy, Healthy Gums

Healthy gums are crucial to maintaining your overall health, and they’re a top concern of our dental practice in Shorewood, IL. 

A not-so-fun fact? The leading cause of tooth loss after 40 is periodontal disease (AKA severe gum infection). Fortunately, with the help of Dr. Mike and the team at Lakota Dental, keeping your gums and teeth healthy just got easier with periodontal therapy.

Periodontics may be necessary as you age and after years of invisible bacteria negatively impact your gums. Flossing, brushing, and mouthwash may not be enough to provide the kind of clean your mouth needs, so turn to your dentist for periodontal therapy.

We’re ready to help you combat gum disease and save your smile.

Don’t Suffer a Moment Longer!

Periodontal disease is often painless, but keeping regular dental appointments allows us to diagnose and treat it early. Otherwise, you could be one of the approximately 80% of adults living with gum disease.

Our Shorewood, IL dentist meticulously examines your gums and designs a proper treatment plan for your needs. Treatment may include deep cleanings and gentle laser therapy for less trauma and faster healing.

Using the CAESY patient education system, our Shorewood periodontics team also teaches you ways to prevent and treat periodontal disease. It’s never too late to get your dental health back on track.
