CLERMONT, FL – The backpacks are packed. The lunchboxes are labeled. The kids are back in class, and your mornings just got a little quieter. While you’ve spent the past few weeks making sure your children are set up for success this school year—when was the last time you focused on your own health?
At Clermont Periodontics and Implant Center, we believe back-to-school season is the perfect opportunity for parents to put themselves back on the list—starting with a healthy, confident smile.
If Your Birth Year Begins with “19,” It Might Be Time
If you were born in the 1900s (yes, we’re talking to you), it may be time for a periodontal evaluation. Nearly half of adults over age 30 experience some form of periodontal disease. Symptoms like bleeding gums, chronic bad breath, and gum recession are not just signs of aging—they may indicate underlying gum disease that can progress without proper care.
Periodontal care is about more than cleanings. It’s about preserving the foundation of your oral health.
When Should You See a Periodontist?
While your general dentist focuses on overall oral hygiene, a periodontist like Dr. Kerwin Scott specializes in diagnosing and treating issues related to your gums and the supporting structures of your teeth. You should consider scheduling a periodontal consultation if you are experiencing:
Bleeding when brushing or flossing
Red, swollen, or receding gums
Loose teeth or a shifting bite
Persistent bad breath
A personal or family history of gum disease
Preparation for or maintenance of dental implants
A referral for advanced gum or bone treatment
At Clermont Periodontics and Implant Center, we offer a wide range of services, including deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), gum grafting, tooth extractions, dental implants, and full mouth rehabilitation—all with a focus on comfort and long-term results.
