Gum Disease/Halitosis

Bleeding Gums & Bad Breath – It’s Link to Heart Disease & Stroke

We Provide Advanced Remedies In Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment

You may not know this, but millions of Americans suffer from a silent, stealthy disease that can ultimately lead to heart disease, stroke, or diabetes. Gum disease affects four out of every five Americans and is directly associated with other, serious health risks. Yet it is one of the least-treated diseases in the US. If your gums bleed when you brush or are red and swollen, you have gum disease.

Our gentle hygienist maintains the gum health of our patients through exams and comprehensive gum treatments. If your gums are in the early stages of gum disease, called gingivitis, an effective cleaning and individualized instruction for a better home care strategy may be all you need.

However, for advanced stages of gum disease, periodontitis, our hygienist may utilize ultra-advanced comfort methods that remove attached hardened bacteria comfortably. The more advanced the disease process is the more necessary for immediate protocol for treatment.

Laser dentistry also provides for faster healing with less discomfort. Although many patients report they need no anesthesia with laser therapy, as always, Dr. Monteagudo has your complete comfort in mind at all times, offering sedation dentistry for our more fearful patients.

If your gums bleed when you brush, or they show other signs of gum disease, call our dental office in West Allis today to find out how laser dentistry can help you. Patients from Wauwatosa, Waukesha, and across Wisconsin have trusted general and cosmetic dentist Dr. Monteagudo for nearly two decades.
