GUM DISEASE SYMPTOMS Tucson, AZ

The Personal Impact of Gum Health

Beneath the surface: crafting beautiful moments with healthy gums

Many of us focus on the aesthetics of our teeth, longing for that perfect smile. But, just beneath the surface, our gums play a silent, critical role in our oral story. A story that doesn't just affect our mouths, but reverberates throughout our daily lives. Think of that spontaneous laugh, the confidence in our chatter, or the joy of savoring our favorite foods. Gum health isn’t just a dental concern; it's deeply personal. It affects our comfort, our confidence, and even our social interactions. At Hillside Dental Care, we’re not just treating gums, we’re upholding the moments they power.

The silent battle: unraveling the realities of gum disease and its impact

Stealthy Symptoms

Gum disease, often beginning as gingivitis, can be insidious. Its early stages may present as subtle symptoms like slight bleeding during brushing or mild gum redness. Ignoring these signs can allow the disease to progress, possibly leading to more severe conditions like periodontitis, which can threaten tooth stability.

Risks and Ramifications

Beyond the immediate discomfort or tooth loss, advanced gum disease can have implications for one's overall health. It's linked to heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory diseases. At Hillside Dental Care, we don't just look at your gums; we see the bigger picture.

Two Decades, Unwavering Trust

My wife and I have been with Hillside Dental for nearly 20 years. From dental cleaning to root canals and almost all dental needs. Dr. Rosenberg and his staff are highly skilled, knowledgeable and very focused on their patients. We are moving to California soon but I would be tempted to come back for our dental needs.

Exceptional Emergency Care

I had a really bad tooth emergency over this past weekend. Since it was a Sunday, the office was closed. I texted the Dr.'s emergency line, and he came into the office with an assistant ready to go and relieve my pain. I can't tell you enough what a relief it was to get this taken care of. I'll always recommend Dr. Rosenberg and his staff.

This is the best dental experience I have had in my LIFE. I had a lot of dental work done as a little boy, including a headgear, extractions, fillings, and braces. As a result, I am traumatized.
