The major cause of gum disease is plaque, the icky layer of bacteria excrement that constantly builds up on your teeth. It contains chemical compounds that destroy your gums and teeth. With regular cleanings with Dominion Ridge Dentistry, our hygienists remove plaque and help prevent gum disease.

Even the damaging effects of gum disease are also amazingly simple to fix if treated early by Dr. Louis R. Garcia. Gum disease is deceptively painless in the early stages, so it’s nearly impossible to self-diagnose. The best way to assess and treat gum disease is by visiting a professional dentist.
