Dr. Duncker is now offering LANAP treatment to his patients.You can read the full story here.
Congratulations to Dr. Duncker on becoming certified to perform this procedure!
Hopefully Dr. Duncker fully supports prevention and his educating his patients so that they may never need this procedure done.
A good dentist will certainly report to his patients the depth of their periodontal pockets on every office visit. This is a key indicator in the diagnosis of gum disease.
You will know when you are in danger with these numbers, so it is important that your hygienist or dentist tell you what these numbers are. You don't want to be surprised by an expensive treatment, do you?
If you dentist's office is currently providing these numbers to you, be sure to ask them on every visit. By staying on top of the problem of gum disease, you can avoid a lot of expensive hassles down the road.
The cost of dental surgery in the US, as I am sure you are probably aware or can guess, is quite high. If you can manage to keep your gums healthy through prevention you can save yourself a lot of money over the remaining decades / years of your life.
Sincerely,
David Snape
