I happened upon a webpage about dental care and there was one article that gave some excellent tips on how to help prevent gum disease. They provided an amazing piece of fact in that 80% of the population is walking around with some kind of gum disease. You know something? It was like the statistic was based upon my experience with patients.

Do you know Jennifer Love Hewitt? Well, this is what she looks like. She wanted to be a star, so she thought the best way was by settling in Los Angeles where she wanted to follow a career in music. She never did make it as a singer. But as an actress, she has thrived. I, for one, think she is a good actress. She has had a few albums but most of her time is devoted to acting.

I read about her life in a recent interview and I could only smile when I read that she doesn't know how to ride a bicycle and still keeps falling off. Can you believe that? I don't know Jennifer Love Hewitt personally, let alone treat her, but it doesn't mean I don't think she's pretty and has a great smile.

She could have gum disease, though we would never know it.

Any dentist will tell you that if you are blessed with healthy gums they will not be disturbed by your toothbrush and won't bleed. If your gums are in good condition, they would be a healthy pink color but a swollen look is not so good. If your gums are stretched and firm, that is also encouraging. As a dentist, it is my responsibility to check your pockets. I'm referring, of course, to your gum pockets. I want to see how deep they are. Any good dentist will know from looking at your gum pockets how extensive is the infection and what action we could take. Pockets don't get less deep but you can stop them from deteriorating. Bone loss from the jaw will cause gum pockets and after a while your teeth are short of enough bone for the roots to hold on to and because of that the majority of people who let this continue experience teeth loss the older they get.

I like to put my faith in situations that stop you from using my services.

I think a good oral home care program can make a lot of difference. And you have situations where patients would make an appointment with me and undergo additional procedures to clean their teeth that really goes a long way to helping them have healthy teeth and gums.

Don't think that you have to be like Jennifer Love Hewitt to make the most of my treatment for Aurora gum disease. I value your time, so I would be happy to offer my services to you even though you may only be an ordinary citizen. So am I. Everyone is a celebrity in my office.
