If you visit your dentist regularly, you may think you’re not at risk for periodontal disease. Unfortunately, you can’t be sure your exam is complete enough to detect this disease unless you count on the experience and training of Dr. Dave Shushtari in Waterford.
Visual oral examination by itself - even by a dental professional - can’t always identify periodontal disease until it’s reached an advanced stage. It could be present for years with no signs or symptoms until it’s too late for a quick fix. A specific exam performed by Dr. Shushtari, however, can alert you to gum disease in the early stages.
This exam includes measuring the crevice between the tooth and gum with a periodontal probe. The procedure is simple, fast, and painless, but millions of people have never had it done. Dr. Shushtari ensures that his patients in the Waterford area have access to this diagnostic tool.
If you’re experiencing the signs of periodontal disease - bleeding gums, redness of gum tissue, swelling of the gums around your teeth, bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth - it’s especially important to call Dr. Shushtari and his friendly staff in Waterford. Early detection can prevent the irreversible damage that can be caused by periodontal disease.
The adverse affects of periodontal gum disease don’t have to happen to you. Call Today's Smiles at (855) 999-4883 to schedule an exam today.

Brush Your Teeth Daily!
For good oral health, brush your teeth twice a day with a good fluoride toothpaste!
How Old Is Your Toothbrush?
Replace your toothbrush every 3 or 4 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won't do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
A Healthy Diet Makes a Healthy Smile!
For healthy teeth and gums, eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks. Go easy on sugary treats!
