Considering dental implants in Jupiter, FL? Then pay close attention to the health of your gums. Over 47 percent of adults have periodontal disease in the US, and as you age, your risk of periodontal disease increases. That’s why it’s key to keep your gums healthy now. Seventy-five percent of adults 60 and older have only a portion of their original teeth. Just when older adults may need dental implants, their risk of periodontal disease goes up if their gum health goes unchecked.
Does the thought of having dental work make you cringe? Is it so bad, that even driving by any dental office in Jupiter makes you shirk? You may be among the nearly 8% of Americans that have odontophobia, dentophobia, dentist phobia or dental anxiety—fear of dentistry. Nearly 25% of us postpone going to the dentist due to anxiety until it’s absolutely necessary. Besides damaging your teeth, not getting proper dental care can impact other areas of health, making you more susceptible to heart disease and diabetes.
There are countless teeth whitening products on the market. Many are available for home use in the form of toothpaste, gel, strips, and mouthwash. Despite these convenient solutions, Dr. Mark Kubiliun always recommends getting your teeth whitened by a local professional to prevent any risk of overdoing the procedure and to ensure that your gums and teeth are regularly monitored. This process can weaken or even destroy your enamel if not handled properly, which can lead to even more expensive treatments. If you live here in Jupiter, Florida, Dr. Mark makes the process so smooth and easy, with no wait appointments.
