Gum disease can be caused by tobacco use, hormonal changes and, believe it or not, genetics. But in most instances, gum disease is the result of plaque and tartar that has built up on your teeth. At Deer Creek Dental, our dentist and team offer scaling and root planing in Lewistown, Montana, to clean your smile and help you fight back against gum disease. If gum disease is a concern for you and you would like to make your appointment with Dr. Tyson C. Smith, call our office today at 406-535-6317.
