“An Ounce of Prevention is worth a pound of cure.” B. Franklin
Quality care for gingivitis in Bakersfield begins with prevention at Salin Dentistry where you will receive excellent care and service
"Periodontal disease causes adults over the age of 35 to loose more teeth than tooth decay (or cavities). At least three out of four adults are affected by gum disease some time in their life. The best way to prevent cavities and periodontal disease is by daily brushing and flossing and, of course, coming in for regular six month professional examinations and cleanings. Unfortunately, even with the utmost care and diligence based on good oral hygiene and professional dental exams, an adult can develop some form of gingivitis or periodontal disease. Once the disease starts, professional help will be necessary to prevent the spread of the disease. In addition to your daily regiment, other factors that can negatively affect the health of your gums include: clenching and grinding teeth, stress, tobacco usage, and some medications or poor nutrition."
