When we manage your periodontal health, we’re doing more than preventing oral issues; we’re actively guarding against systemic inflammation that can affect your entire body.
We believe that a healthy mouth is a gateway to a healthy body. That’s why we take a ‘complete health’ approach to every treatment, from routine cleanings to more complex restorative work.
At Fairlington Dental, dental care is only the beginning—here, we make sure that every treatment improves more than just your smile.
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a progressive condition that if left untreated can lead to significant oral and general health issues. It starts as gingivitis, with symptoms like gum redness and bleeding. This can eventually progress to periodontitis, which results in the destruction of the supporting bone and tissues of the teeth.
Our Healthy Mouth Baseline is a core part of how we assess your oral health, focusing on key factors like stable gum health, no decay, and a well-aligned bite. This comprehensive check helps us spot any changes over time, emphasizing the importance of your regular visits.
We strive to keep your gums healthy and bleed-free by ensuring your bite is even, and that your gum pockets are 3mm or shallower to guard against the broader impacts of periodontal disease.
We also offer state-of-the-art saliva testing, powered by Bristle, offering the most comprehensive analysis of your oral microbiome, profiling over 700 bacteria and fungi. This non-invasive test identifies all microbes present in your mouth, distinguishing between those beneficial to your health and those that contribute to issues like bad breath, tooth decay, and gum inflammation.
These methods not only highlights the importance of oral health in relation to your overall wellness but also encourages a more comprehensive understanding of how your body’s systems are interconnected.
