What You Can Do For Your Periodontal Health
If you maintain good brushing and flossing habits, and have regular teeth cleanings and oral exams, chances are you can keep your natural teeth for life. Your mouth contains bacteria, mucus and other particles that can form plaque on your teeth. Brushing and flossing does help to eliminate plaque, however plaque can harden and form tartar.
Gum disease, which is a bacterial infection caused by plaque and tartar, threatens the gums and supporting tooth structure tissues. Dr. Azimi is always on the lookout for early signs that his patients may not even notice. When signs of gum disease begin to appear, periodontal therapy may be the solution.
To restore and maintain optimal periodontal health, Dr. Azimi prefers a non-surgical approach which may include scaling (deep cleaning) for plaque and tartar removal, laser therapy, and topical antibiotics .
The main cause of periodontal disease is dental plaque, so it is essential for you to brush and floss at least once a day to remove what you can. Brushing improperly can yield less than favorable results so it is important to have our dental hygienist here in Las Vegas show you the proper way to brush your teeth. With that, there are some areas of the mouth that can’t be reached by brushing and flossing, so this another reason that coming in to have a teeth cleaning and dental exam is paramount for your overall oral health.
Other things you can do is to make sure you diet is low in sugar by quitting or cutting back on candy and soft drinks, and staying away from all forms of tobacco will also support that you may keep your natural teeth for life.

Our Patients Say It Best!
“I am elated about finally getting rid of my troublesome dentures and having dental implants placed by Dr. Azimi. My ability to eat more types of foods has changed immensely — foods that I haven’t tasted in over 10 years I am now eating regularly! My only regret is not getting these sooner.”
Enrique
“As a new resident to Las Vegas, I struggled to find a dentist that I was comfortable with. There were many choices, but Dr. Azimi and his staff took the time to give me a lengthy free consultation and answer all of my questions. Dr. Azimi then listened to my concerns and went beyond my expectations in creating a cost effective plan for my treatment. Furthermore, his entire staff is amazingly warm and friendly. One can feel their compassion and dedicated professionalism.”
Dave
“A challenging case of tooth extraction followed by an implant work were made as comfortable as humanly possible by Dr. Azimi and his support personnel. In addition, the post-operative results showed no complications, with a healing process in a steady progress. The experience of my wife with the same dental office is similarly positive. We feel very fortunate to have Dr. Azimi as our family dentist!”
