Your oral health is a priority for us.
At Aloha Dental, we are committed to preventing and treating gum disease to ensure your oral health and overall well-being.
Gum disease, often a result of plaque and bacteria buildup, is a leading cause of tooth loss. It starts with gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, which can be reversed with proper care. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, causing significant damage to the tissues and bone supporting your teeth.
