Healthy Gum Tips From Dr. Jeff
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It’s a major cause of tooth loss in adults and because it is usually painless, you may not know you have it. Gum disease is caused by plaque, the sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on our teeth, causing tooth decay. The warning signs of early periodontal disease (at this stage called gingivitis) are gums that bleed easily, and are generally red, swollen, and tender. The disease at this stage is reversible and can usually be eliminated by a professional cleaning at your dental office, followed by daily brushing, rinsing, and flossing.
Remember to brush your teeth at least twice a day, clean between your teeth with floss daily, eat a balanced diet, and schedule routine dental checkups to ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles! We’re always accepting new patients. Give us a call to schedule your visit today!

What Our Patients Say
“Our daughter is three years old and was apprehensive about going to the dentist. Dr. Herrick and staff were so good with her. They handled her perfectly and put her at ease. I have been a patient there for quite a while and always receive excellent care. They are knowledgeable, honest, and don’t try to sell me on things that aren’t necessary. We are extremely satisfied.”
— Dean M.
“I always appreciate meeting with Dr. Herrick. I trust his opinions and expertise and know he wants the very best dental care for all of his patients. I also appreciate the fact that he will refer his patients when he believes that another specialist is needed. His assistant is knowledgeable and explains procedures in a way that is understandable.”
— Beth B.
“Wonderful, friendly people and excellent at what they do! My 50 year old chipped front tooth has never looked or felt better. Dr. Herrick went out of his way to make it look perfect. I have been with the dental practice for 25 years and never had a bad experience.”
— Sue S.
