In reality, root canal therapy is an extremely important treatment that helps eliminate discomfort while saving a patient’s natural tooth.

Are You Suffering From This Common Dental Disease?

Dr. Ian Gray, General Dentistry

When most patients visit the dentist their main concerns are typically the state of their teeth and if their teeth are experiencing any decay. While caring about the health of your teeth is wonderful, there is another part of the mouth that can also become extremely damaged and need extensive treatment — your gums. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, occurs when the gums become irritated and infected. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to severe complications with your oral health such as tooth loss.
