A Periodontal Practice Offering Advanced Treatments

The goal of our practice is to help you achieve the best dental health possible. Our periodontal staff is dedicated to helping patients preserve their teeth through individualized treatments and personalized care. We provide a wide range of periodontal, dental implant, and cosmetic services, and we will work to develop a treatment plan that meets all of your individual needs. Your comfort and personal satisfaction are always of primary importance. For over 25 years the practice of Joseph R. Nemeth, D.D.S. & Associates has led the way toward excellence in periodontal care. Our office uses advanced technology that ranges from state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to therapeutic approaches that enhance the results of treatment and maximize patient comfort.

●In 1990 we became the first periodontal practice in the United States to use lasers in periodontics. Lasers provide tremendous patient benefits, and we now have four different kinds of lasers for patient care. Dental lasers can quickly perform certain procedures that once required more invasive, conventional surgery.

●In 1998 we became the first practice in Michigan to provide periodontal microsurgery. This expertise has helped us achieve excellent cosmetic results for our patients.

●Our practice uses high resolution microscopes that reveal bacteria associated with periodontal problems. We are proud to be one of only a small number of practices in Michigan to have the latest generation i-Cat Cone-Beam 3-D Dental Imaging Scanner.

●To the best of our knowledge, our office was the first periodontal practice in Michigan to use PRF material to enhance surgical outcomes.

●In 2014, Dr. Nemeth became the first periodontist in Michigan to be certified to perform the Pinhole Surgical Technique. Our entire staff is dedicated to assuring our patients’ comfort and relaxation in a friendly and pleasant environment. We work closely as a team with our referring dentists, but a referral by a dentist is not required for a visit to our office. Many patients come to us by word of mouth from friends and family who had a great experience at our office.

You brush. You floss. But your gums still bleed. Why?

A lot of people assume it’s because they’re brushing too hard—but that’s usually not the real cause.

Here’s what’s actually going on:

Plaque buildup . When plaque isn't removed, it hardens into tartar. That irritates the gums and causes inflammation.

Inconsistent flossing. If you only floss before your dental appointment, your gums aren't used to the pressure and may bleed.

Genetics. Some people are just more prone to gum inflammation, even with good hygiene.

The truth is: bleeding gums are not normal. They’re a sign of something deeper, and they’re often the first warning your mouth gives you.

Don’t ignore it. Let’s figure out what’s causing the bleeding, before it becomes a bigger issue.

11/21/2025

If your gums bleed when brushing or flossing, hydrogen peroxide can help, but only when used correctly.

✔️ Try a 1:1 solution with water as a rinse... or add a little to your water flosser for deeper cleaning

✔️ Don’t overdo it, limit use to a couple times per week

✔️ Let your good bacteria recover if you’ve been using it consistently

Persistent bleeding? It’s time for a professional evaluation.

The holidays are busy, we get it. But gum disease doesn’t care if your calendar is full of travel, parties, and family gatherings.

In fact, delaying care over the holidays can give bacteria more time to spread beneath the surface, quietly causing damage you might not feel… yet.

Bleeding when brushing?
Swollen or tender gums?
Bad breath that won’t go away?

Don’t ignore these signs. They’re not just inconvenient, they’re warnings.

Early action can prevent serious health issues down the line.

We’re here when you’re ready, don’t let discomfort linger into the new year.

If your teeth zing when the cold air hits them, you're not imagining it.

As temperatures drop, we see more patients with sensitive teeth, especially when breathing through your mouth outdoors, drinking hot or cold beverages, or brushing.

Why does this happen?

- Cold air can cause your enamel to contract, exposing tiny nerve endings.
- Aggressive brushing or acid erosion can wear down enamel, making it worse.
- Gum recession can expose the root surface, which is highly sensitive.

Here’s how to help:
- Use a soft-bristled brush and brush gently.
- Switch to a toothpaste designed for sensitivity (like Sensodyne).
- Avoid overly acidic or sugary foods and drinks.
- Don’t skip your dental cleanings. plaque and tartar buildup can increase the problem.
- See a periodontist if sensitivity persists, it could be a sign of gum disease.

Feeling the chill in your teeth? Let’s find the cause before it becomes a bigger issue.

Most people think they’re flossing correctly, but here’s the catch: unless you’re curving the floss into a “C” shape around each tooth, you’re missing the mark.

That flat, snap-straight motion between teeth? It only skims the surface.

To truly clean under the gumline and remove plaque where it starts, you need to:

- Gently slide the floss below the gumline
- Curve it into a “C” around each side of the tooth
- Glide up and down to sweep away bacteria

This technique helps prevent gum inflammation, reduce bleeding, and improve long-term gum health.

Not sure if you're doing it right? We’ll show you at your next visit.

Because better flossing means better health, mouth and body.
