Healthy gums can help your smile look its best. Beyond that, they also protect your tooth roots from dental caries and ensure that your teeth stay in place. And they are the first and best line of defense between your body and the oral bacteria that can lead to cardiovascular and respiratory disease. If you have noticed the initial indicators of gum disease, call Elite Dental Care at 731-286-1583 for an appointment with our dentists. Dr. Mark Harper, Dr. Kate Whitby and our team offer periodontal treatments in Dyersburg, Tennessee.
