Preventative Care | Scottsdale AZ Dental Care

Proactive, Preventative Dental Care

Although it may sound a little odd at first, our philosophy is that the best dentistry is no dentistry at all. In other words, nothing is more effective, stronger or more durable than your natural teeth.

Healthy gums are the foundation of healthy teeth. Unresolved gum disease can degenerate into gingivitis or even periodontitis - a progression that often ends in tooth loss, and can affect your overall health in many detrimental ways, including cardiovascular disease or diabetes.

Kristi, our New Patient Coordinator, visits with every new patient. Her primary goals are to:

• Thoroughly examine your mouth
• Fully understand your dental history
• Listen to your desires and concerns
• Help you achieve your dental goals
• Outline potential treatment options

After your consultation, we begin the "wellness" process. Depending on your situation, this process may be as simple as a general cleaning, or it may include a more comprehensive strategy that involves laser dentistry, scaling and root planning - three techniques that effectively eliminate difficult-to-reach bacteria that cause periodontal disease.

Don't wait - be proactive! Keep your mouth and body in excellent shape! Call the office of Dr. Gore and Dr. Svans to schedule your New Patient Appointment!

Healthy Mouth, Healthy Heart

Did you know that there's a proven connection between dental plaque and arterial plaque? Multiple studies - including a recent paper in the American Journal of Cardiology - have demonstrated that inflammatory cardiac disease may be complicated by the persistence of periodontal disease in your mouth.

Other studies also suggest an increased risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, lung infection, low-weight, pre-term babies and respiratory diseases when periodontal disease is present within your mouth.

The continued health of your heart is a compelling reason to establish and maintain a pro-active, preventive oral health program. Scottsdale dentists Rod Gore and Erik Svans can address the current condition of your gums and create a plan to restore your optimum oral health.

At the practice of Scottsdale dentists Rod Gore and Erik Svans, we promise to provide periodontal therapy that prevents the proliferation of harmful bacteria in a comprehensive, comfortable and effective way. Call us today and give your mouth a reason to smile!
