What is Periodontitis
Report
Periodontitis, commonly referred to as "gum disease, " is a serious issue that affects many people's lives. Periodontitis is a loss of gum and bone around the teeth. It is caused by the body's inflammatory responses to certain bacteria within the mouth. The combination of bacteria and inflammation can ultimately lead to loss of teeth if left untreated.

Your First Visit
Report
At your first visit, Dr. French will perform a thorough examination of your oral structures. She will review your medical and dental history and your current concerns for your oral health. If x-rays are necessary, they will be taken and reviewed. She will perform an oral cancer screening and take the necessary measurements required to diagnose your condition and formulate a treatment plan for your individual case.
Oral and IV Sedation
Report
Here at Sierra Nevada Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we are proud to offer different types of anesthetics to our patients to make their visits more comfortable. The most common anesthetic we use is a local anesthetic. This blocks pain in a certain area of your mouth. To make the injections more comfortable, we will apply a topical anesthetic to pre-numb the area.
