Gum Disease Prevention

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a chronic bacterial infection of the gums, periodontal ligament, and bone that surround and support the teeth. The condition, which affects nearly 80 percent of Americans at some point in their life, causes a chronic inflammation of the gums and surrounding tissue. By practicing good oral hygiene, visiting your dentist regularly, and maintaining a healthy diet, you can prevent periodontal disease.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment if you've been apprehensive about the thought of metal braces. During treatment with Dr. Johnny Bear, patients wear clear aligners all day and night, except for during meals and when they're brushing and flossing. Invisalign gradually shifts your teeth into place, creating the dazzling smile you've always wanted. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment, we invite you to give us a call at our convenient Marrero, LA office and schedule a consultation.

Is it Possible to Over Brush?

Brushing your teeth regularly is essential for maintaining good oral hygiene. However, it is possible to over brush. Over brushing can lead to gum recession, tooth wear, and even tooth sensitivity. It is essential to brush your teeth gently and avoid using a hard-bristled toothbrush.

Conclusion

At West Jefferson Dental Center, we are committed to providing you with exceptional dental care and a positive experience. Our team is dedicated to helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. We encourage you to schedule an appointment today and take the first step towards a lifetime of healthy, happy teeth.
