Patient Info

Periodontal disease affects both the tissue that both surrounds and supports the teeth.

Dental caries results when plaque forms on the surface of a tooth and converts the free sugars  contained in foods and drinks into acids that destroy the tooth over time. 

Oral cancer includes cancers of the lip, other parts of the mouth and the oropharynx and combined rank as the 13th most common cancer worldwide.

Losing teeth is generally the end point of a lifelong history of oral disease, mainly advanced dental caries and severe periodontal disease, but can also be due to trauma and other causes
