Periodontal Health

The gums provide a foundation for a healthy mouth and are a vital part of oral care. Dr. Kilimitzoglou offers comprehensive treatment, including non-surgical laser treatments to patients at his Smithtown, Long Island practice. Contact ESI Dental today to learn more about how having healthy gums can benefit your entire body.

DR. JIMMY KILIMITZOGLOU: Periodontal disease is not something that you can see. It’s kind of like diabetes or high blood pressure, so it’s important for us to screen every time a patient comes in. When patients don’t have good gum care, it can actually lead to bad glucose levels for diabetics. It can affect a heart condition. And for pregnant women, it can lead to low birth weight babies or premature births.
