At
Dental Care of the Future we provide gentle, scientifically
based support to promote excellent dental health and your
body's healing potential.
For sixteen years, we have concentrated our efforts on the
development of better methods of infection control in treatment
of periodontal (gum) diseases.When proper measures are employed
to eliminate the infections surrounding the roots of the
teeth, patients can enjoy long-term recovery from destructive
periodontal diseases.
These diseases are infections caused by bacteria acquired
from saliva transfer by kissing, sharing utensils,
etc. Our highly successful model of treatment involves
bacteriologic screening that includes intimate persons
and treating all infected family members when indicated.
Periodontal infections can be associated with serious
side effects, and if untreated can lead to bad breath
(halitosis), loss of bone support around teeth and
loss of teeth.
Periodontal infections have been implicated as
risk factors in heart disease and stroke suggesting
that gum disease may be a risk factor for cardiovascular
disease. Gum disease is apparently a risk factor for
premature, low birth weight babies. These associations
emphasize the importance of oral health to overall
health.
Research findings show that there are two alternatives
for the treatment of periodontal infections, surgical
and nonsurgical.

Our
treatment consists of diagnosing and treating anaerobic
infections along with advice to promote natural healing without
surgery. This
treatment based on findings documented in many research
studies over the last thirty years, can often save teeth that
would be immediately extracted when surgery is used.
