Our Dental Services in Luck, WI

In the early stages of gum disease, called gingivitis, you may not notice any symptoms. Once the disease progresses to advanced stages, called periodontitis, you’ll likely experience the following symptoms:

• Bleeding gums
• Red and swollen gums
• Loose teeth
• Persistent bad breath
• Painful chewing
• Receding gums

With gingivitis, the effects can be reversed with a thorough cleaning at our Luck dental office. Once the disease has progressed to periodontitis, our dentists will recommend coming in for more frequent visits to keep your gums free of infection and in optimal condition.

Many diseases of the teeth and surrounding tissues can’t be seen by the dentist examining your mouth. An x-ray examination may reveal the presence of:

• Infections in the bone
• Small areas of decay between the teeth or below existing fillings
• Periodontal (gum) disease
• Abscesses or cysts
• Developmental abnormalities
• Some types of tumors

By finding and treating dental problems in their early stages, we can save you time, money, and unnecessary invasive procedures. X-rays can detect damage to oral structures we’re not able to see during your regular exam. Our dentists will evaluate your needs for dental x-rays based on the conditions present.
