JACKSONVILLE, FL, July 18, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- For more than 25 years, Mashod Family Dentistry in Jacksonville, FL, has treated periodontal disease. The practice addresses its patients proactively in order to start early treatment of gum disease, a condition that is known to increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Jacksonville, FL. More than 75 percent of the adult population in the United States are said to be suffering from some sort of gum disease. Although gum disease is the major cause of tooth loss in adults, Mashod Family Dentistry, a Jacksonville dental care practice, believes that it is avoidable in many cases with proper dental care. For more than 25 years, Mashod Family Dentistry in Jacksonville, Florida, has treated periodontal disease. The practice addresses its patients proactively in order to start early treatment of gum disease, a condition that is known to increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Once a patient comes in for an initial visit, he or she is examined for any signs of periodontal disease. As a provider of dental care in Jacksonville, Mashod Family Dentistry is on a mission to ensure that patients maintain oral health. They have implemented this mission against periodontal disease in Jacksonville, which is caused by long-term exposure to plaque, since 1988.

In Jacksonville, periodontics at Mashod Family Dentistry is a specialty because the dentists believe that serious health-related issues can be avoided or minimized with proper dental care. Dr. Siamac Mashod says, “Losing your teeth, however, is not the only danger of this disease. A patient with open gum wounds is susceptible to bacteria entering the bloodstream, spawning disease in organs and systems.”

Mashod Family Dentistry treats periodontitis in a number of ways. One method, called root planing, involves cleaning and scraping below the gum line. Root planing and scaling cleans between the gums and the teeth down to the roots.
If effective, this procedure helps the gums reattach themselves to the tooth structure. If patients maintain good dental care and maintenance after this procedure, the progression of periodontal disease should stop. However, not all instances of scaling and root planing successfully reattach the teeth to the gums. Additional gum disease treatment may be required if the periodontal pockets persist after scaling and root planing.
