We Take Gum Disease Seriously at Our Springfield Office

Gum disease is one of the most dangerous, yet sometimes hard to detect, dental issues facing dental patients in Springfield. Bad breath can be masked with mouthwash and mints. Crooked teeth can be fixed with braces. Missing teeth can be disguised with dentures. But these are all solutions to problems that could have been dealt with earlier if the dangers of gum disease were better known. But to know the dangers, the warning signs and risks of gum disease must be fully understood.

There are also risk factors that are really not under your control: diabetes, some necessary medications for other health issues and crooked teeth can also lead to periodontal disease. That is where regular visits to the office of Dr. Fankhauser in Springfield can take up the slack.

At the very least, twice-yearly visits to the dentist should be on your schedule. But if you suffer from any of the risk factors, whether the factors are under your control or not, you might want to step up your visits to your dentist. Dr. Fankhauser would be happy to be that dentist. And his happiness will lead to your healthy smile.
