The Importance of Periodontal Health:

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth.

Regular periodontal care is essential for maintaining both your oral and overall health.

Signs You May Need Periodontal Care:

• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Bleeding while brushing or flossing
• Persistent bad breath
• Receding gums
• Loose teeth
• Changes in your bite

Dr. Kruk-Leahy combines his extensive training with the latest techniques and technologies to provide effective, comfortable periodontal care tailored to your specific needs.
