Although probably not as well known as Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy still had a positive impact on many childhoods. February 28th is National Tooth Fairy Day, and that occasion presents a great opportunity to pursue dental care.

Dr. Darryl A. Field offers procedures including dental implants in Jacksonville, FL. With interventions like these, you can have a smile that would make the Tooth Fairy feel very proud of the way your teeth and gums look.

 

Good Gum Health is Possible

Because Dr. Field is a leading periodontist, he is well informed about minimally invasive treatments to tackle gum issues. When left untreated, periodontal disease can cause tooth loss, which may make patients good candidates for implants.

Gum problems might seem mild at first, such as if you just notice some bleeding after brushing. However, it is important to get even minor symptoms evaluated to reduce the chance they will become more significant.

If gum disease has already caused you to lose several teeth, your face structure can look hollow. Dental implants in Jacksonville, FL may offer a more appealing look.

 

Several Things Can Cause Tooth Loss

As an experienced periodontist, Dr. Field regularly helps patients who are coping with missing teeth due to gum problems. However, there are many things that can result in tooth loss, such as:

  • Birth defects
  • Injuries
  • Intentional extractions
  • Decay

Depend on Dr. Field to give you a thorough consultation and patiently explain the options that can help you have a smile you will feel confident about. There are even some implants you can get in a single office visit. If cost is a concern, ask about our financing options that could make it easier to budget for the treatments you need.

Even if the Tooth Fairy no longer visits you, there is still someone who cares about your teeth. Call 904-201-8291 to schedule your appointment with Dr. Field.
