Many individuals suffer from some degree of gum disease, and if left untreated, gum disease will cause tooth loss, break down of the soft tissue in the mouth and jaw and other significant health problems. Dr. Johnson assesses your periodontal health and if needed, conducts the appropriate therapy to restore gums and supportive tissues.
