You may not be aware that the leading cause of gum disease is the accumulation of plaque and tartar on your teeth, especially below the gumline. At Oaks Family Dental Associates, we can remove that plaque, keep your smile healthy and even help you fight the effects of gum disease. If you have noticed the initial signs of periodontal disease, call our team at 610-666-5118 for an appointment with our dentist, Dr. Elizabeth Brennan, for scaling and root planing in Oaks, Pennsylvania.
