Even though patients will not lose all their teeth at the beginning stages of the disease, it is still something to be worried about. The earlier that the disease is caught, the more chance patients have at recovering and keeping all of their natural teeth.

If is the dentist’s responsibility to educate patients about gum disease, and what symptoms to watch out for. No dentist does this better than Dr Miles Madison of Beverly Hills Perio.

He has years of experience with gum disease and is actually working on revolutionary new treatments for gum disease. He is the most sought after dentist when it comes to gum grafts because his treatment process reduces pain during the procedure.

If a patient enters his surgery and it is found that they have gum disease, he will explain what the disease is and talk to them about their treatment options. If the disease is in the early stages, he will recommend a stronger toothpaste and mouthwash, and he will tell them to brush their teeth more. If they have gums that bleed, then they should concentrate on that area a little more.

If the disease is more progressive, he will tell them about any surgeries that can be done to replace missing gum or teeth, and to save the existing teeth.

A company spokesperson added, “Here at Beverly Hills Perio, we believe that it is our mission to educate patients about gum disease. We see so many patients with periodontitis that could have been prevented if they had come to us sooner. We hope that our patients listen to us and we are able to prevent their gum disease from progressing any further.”

In the future, Beverly Hills Perio plans to have more information about gum disease, available in their institute. They especially want to educate future generations, so that there will be a point when gum disease is a thing of the past.
