Statistics show that 75% of adults over the age of 30 may suffer from some form of gum disease.   Gum diseases are often silent, but the resulting damage to the supporting bone is irreversible.  At York & Bay Dental, we perform periodontal exams on a continual basis to closely monitor the ever-changing status of your gum disease, and redirect treatment to help stabilize the disease process.  These exams measure the natural space between your gum and tooth; higher measurements mean more advanced gum disease  (you often hear numbers being called out ie. three, two, three etc.).  Call us today to find out the status of YOUR gum health!
