The Importance of Children’s Dentistry Checkups

You work hard at home to make sure your child’s teeth are brushed and flossed, but even the most diligent at-home care isn’t enough to maintain optimal oral health. At children’s dentistry checkups, we conduct a thorough assessment of each and every tooth, as well as the development of the jaw. Our team will perform a thorough cleaning, offering helpful advice and effective home hygiene techniques along the way. We may recommend fluoride supplements and/or dentalsealants to help bolster the strength of your child’s smile, protecting the enamel against destructive decay.

You will be fully informed of all treatment options pertaining to your child’s unique case; we value our relationships with our patients, and we want you to be a part of this important process every step of the way.

The Hidden Dangers of Gum Disease: Protect Yourself with Periodontal Therapy

July 23, 2014

The majority of people know that periodontal disease can lead to oral health problems like bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, and even tooth loss. In fact, gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults in America. Did you know, however, that this common infection of the gums can actually lead to even more serious complications? At Pasadena Family Dentistry in Pasadena, TX, Dr. Erica Revel and Dr. Kimber Holmes help patients achieve optimal oral health and overall wellness with comprehensive periodontal therapy.

Why is it Important to Treat Gum Disease?

When an infection develops within the gingival tissue (gum tissue), the bacteria there multiply and can travel throughout the body to cause disease elsewhere. Patients with untreated gum disease are at a substantially higher risk of suffering from the following complications:

  • Pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs)
  • Coronary artery disease
  • Pneumonia
  • Stroke
  • Heart attack
  • Cancers of the blood, pancreas, and kidneys
  • Hindered management of diabetes
  • Low birth weight and premature delivery in women with periodontal disease
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Osteoporosis
  • Dementia

Though there is no cure for periodontal disease, managing it properly with treatment at Pasadena Family Dentistry can help to lower your risks of contracting these and other health conditions. Our doctors want to help you enjoy a long and happy life as much as we want to heal and enhance your smile. We’re your trusted source for all general, preventive, and restorative dental solutions, and we look forward to serving you.

Healthy Gums, Healthy Body

If you or someone in your family suffers from the symptoms commonly associated with gum disease (including bleeding or swollen gums, a receding gum line, or persistent bad breath), contact our office in Pasadena, TX today to schedule your visit with our team. We’ll happily take the time to sit down with you and discuss your concerns, developing a treatment plan that is specifically tailored to your needs. Our state-of-the-art dental practice happily welcomes patients from throughout the Pasadena area, including surrounding communities in Channelview, Clear Lake, La Porte, South Houston, Deer Park, and more.
