Your gums have a very important job to do beyond keeping your teeth in place. They also keep your body safe from harmful bacteria that can cause problems not just for your smile but for your cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and an issue with your periodontal health may be a factor in cognitive problems later in life. Our dentist, Dr. Ginger Hansen, and team offer periodontal treatments in Vista, California, to keep your body healthy, and you can plan your visit when you call Vista Dental Artz at 760-940-0366 to speak with a member of our team.
