Did you know that over 60 million Americans have periodontitis? Gum disease is one of the most common issues in dentistry. When left untreated, you’re putting your overall health at risk. At Black Bear Dental, our extensive periodontics treatments aim to identify, prevent, and treat gum disease at any stage.
