A Trusted Pekin Gum Disease Dentist

Gum disease is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults over 35. Have you noticed that your gums are swollen? Do they bleed when you brush your teeth? These symptoms may mean that you have gingivitis or periodontal gum disease. Pekin gum disease dentist Dr. Stephen Dickey is your resource in for identifying and treating gum disease, safely and easily.

Left untreated, gum disease is a serious threat to your oral health and can result in teeth and bone loss. But it affects more than your mouth; it can be dangerous to your overall health. Recent studies have linked gum disease to heart disease, stroke, and pregnancy complications. But the professionals at Total Dental Care are able to stop periodontal disease dead in its tracks. Dr. Dickey uses proven techniques to gently remove infected gum tissue and the bacteria causing the infection, returning your mouth to its healthy, normal state.
