Periodontitis is a common complaint affecting approximately 50% of U.S. adults over the age of 30 years. It occurs in people who have preexisting gingivitis which is itself caused by the accumulation of bacteria at the gum line (dental plaque). Your gums may begin to form a pocket below the gumline, which traps food and plaque. If left untreated, plaque calcifies to form dental calculus. Dental calculus must be removed completely by the dental hygienist or the dentist in order to treat gingivitis and periodontitis. Proper dental treatment and improved home care can usually help prevent further damage. If left untreated, bone supporting your teeth can be destroyed, causing your teeth to shift or loosen.
Daily oral hygiene is vital in preventing the onset and growth of gum disease. Brushing and flossing keep teeth free from plaque-generating bacteria. In addition it is important to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and examinations.

I have been a patient here for a year now. Dr. Khurana and his team is very calming proffesional and friendly. Colleen my hygienist is great. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience. All the employees are very kind and accommodating. Makes going to the dentist less daunting with this office!
I have been a patient of Dr. Khurana's since 2004 though a patient of Denistry of Bellevue many years before he took over the practice. I highly recommend Dr. Khurana and his staff. I have gotten excellent care and he has worked with me on various dental problems that required extra attention. I've had some emergency care needed and he was available in off hours for this. His staff has been excellent with my needed care and checkups and always aware of my special gum sensitivities, which I always appreciate.
Very knowledgable and professional staff members, and Dr. Khurana is superb!
