⁣⁣⠀

⁣⁣⠀

Topical or oral antibiotics to reduce harmful bacteria and infection.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
✅ Routine Maintenance Visits⁣⁣⠀
More frequent cleanings to monitor progress and prevent relapse.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀

Surgical options such as flap surgery or bone grafting may be recommended for advanced periodontal disease.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🦷 Healthy gums don’t just support your teeth—they’re connected to your heart health, immune system, and more.⁣⁣⠀

🦷 Save It or Pull It? Here’s Why Your Natural Tooth Is Worth Saving! 💪⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
When you’re faced with a dental issue, it can be tempting to choose the “quick fix” and go straight for extraction. But at Aleris Salem Dental Center, we believe that preserving your natural tooth is almost always the best choice—for your health, your smile, and your wallet.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⠀
🔍 Why Saving Your Tooth Is the Healthier, Smarter Option:⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
✅ Your natural tooth is stronger than any replacement⁣⁣⠀
✅ Prevents bone loss and shifting of nearby teeth⁣⁣⠀
✅ Maintains proper bite and chewing function⁣⁣⠀
✅ Less costly long-term than implants or bridges⁣⁣⠀
✅ Faster recovery compared to surgical extraction and replacement⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Sometimes, extractions are unavoidable—but whenever possible, we recommend treatments like root canals or crowns to restore and retain what nature gave you.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
