At the office of Dr. Bruce Elkind, we take the time to thoroughly assess for periodontal disease and provide prompt and effective treatment for any of our patients who have to deal with this chronic inflammatory disease.

While your gums may seem like a small part of your body, they are actually quite important. Researchers have discovered that periodontal disease is linked to other chronic health conditions like respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Non-surgical therapies like deep cleanings and antibiotic treatments are effective ways to keep periodontal disease under control.
