Periodontal Disease is the number one cause in America for tooth loss that also can lead to heart disease and strokes. The first stage Periodontal Disease -we call Gingivitis-built-up plaque that causes superficial inflammation of the gums. if plaque is not removed the gums react with swelling,redness and bleeding. This creates pockets where bacteria is lodged and begins to erode the tissue that connects gums and loss can occur. We here at Benjamin Dental have helped many patients save their teeth and bring their gum tissue back to health with the help of laser therapy.

Also introducing to our practice is an annual oral cancer screening with vizilite. Clinical studies have determined that using vizilite after a standard oral cancer examination improves the dental professional ability to identify and evaluate suspicious areas at their early stages. One person dies every hour from oral cancer in the united states-and the morality rate has remained unchanged for more then 40 years. Late detection of oral cancer is the primary cause that can lead to death. Early detection can save your life.
