Undetected Gum Disease Can Be Dangerous
We’ve all heard that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but when it comes to gum disease, prevention may be worth even more. After all, wouldn’t you rather prevent a crisis than manage one? And believe it or not, gum disease is at crisis levels, even here in Anchorage. It doesn’t make the nightly news, but more than 50 percent of people in the Anchorage area don’t visit a dentist regularly. Even worse, of that 50 percent of the population, 80 percent have some degree of gum or bone disease. Could you be among those statistics? The answer is Dr. Robert Warren and the professional dental staff at Denali Dental Care. They know how important good oral health is, and they have the experience to help detect and, if necessary, treat gum disease.

Don't Forget to Floss! Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Decay-causing bacteria can hid between teeth where toothbrush bristles can't reach. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line. Visit Our Office Regularly! Take good care of your smile. Remember to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams. Mouthwash Is Important, Too! Brushing and flossing may not be enough. The ADA now recommends using an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce plaque and prevent gingivitis. |
