Gum Disease

Gum Disease – Causes, Effects, and Treatment Approach

Gum disease affects the supporting structures of the teeth, weakening their stability. The gums are the foundation of healthy teeth. In advanced stages, the disease can lead to tooth mobility and even loss. The amount of information on gum disease and periodontal surgery is extensive.

Dr. Tagari’s approach to patient education

involves three key steps:

1. Initial Consultation – After the first appointment with Dr. Tagari, patients meet with a dental hygienist for a personalized introduction to maintaining gum and dental health.

2. Educational Resources – Patients receive recommended online reading materials for a deeper understanding of gum disease.

3. Comprehensive Follow-Up – In a subsequent appointment, Dr. Tagari provides a personalized analysis, including microscopic bacterial sampling, and tailors an individualized treatment plan.

A well-informed patient is better equipped to prevent and manage gum disease effectively.
