An estimated 7 in 10 adults in the United States have some form of gum disease. Treating gum disease — or better yet preventing it — is an important part of our general dentistry in Willow Park, TX.

Dr. Ryan Crain discusses the connection between periodontal disease and heart health in the video below. For now, we’ll just say that saving your smile isn’t the only reason to care about your gum health.

One thing you should be doing is scheduling regular dental cleanings and exam at Texas Grins. This will help prevent or identify gum disease in its early stages. Please call [phone] or contact us online if you have not yet scheduled your next dental appointment.
