If you are suffering from gum disease, prompt treatment is essential for the restoration of comfort and the preservation of your natural teeth. Austin gum disease treatment may also help reduce your risk for serious and even life-threatening systemic diseases as well, as several studies have shown an association between gum disease and certain health conditions. Gum disease has not been shown to cause these health conditions, but there is evidence of some connection between your oral health and your overall health.
Cedar Park general dentist Dr. Kondoff uses a microsonic dental instrument to provide advanced cleaning for our patients with gum disease. This advanced piece of dental technology uses vibration to remove bacteria and sprays antimicrobial medication beneath the gum line to fight infection and restore comfort to your gums.

The Gum/Body Connection
Treating gum disease is not only necessary for the preservation of your smile, it is an essential part of your overall healthcare. Several studies have found a link between gum disease and systemic issues including:
- Complications in diabetes control
- A higher risk for low birth-weight babies
- Coronary artery disease
- Stroke
- Respiratory problems
Preventing Gum Disease
- Poor dental hygiene
- Smoking
- Genetic predisposition
- Autoimmune disorders
- Certain medications
- Hormonal changes
While some of these factors are unavoidable, you can significantly reduce your risks for gum disease by practicing a proper dental hygiene and teeth cleaning routine. Cedar Park general dentist Dr. Kondoff will be happy to discuss this with you in more detail during your regularly scheduled office visits.
