The word periodontal means “around the tooth”. Periodontal disease attacks the gums and the bone that support the teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva. If plaque is not removed, it turns into calculus (tartar). When plaque and calculus are not removed, they begin to destroy the gums and bone. Periodontal disease is characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums.
Four out of five people have periodontal disease and don’t know it! Most people are not aware of it because the disease is usually painless in the early stages.
Not only is it the number one reason for tooth loss, research suggests that there may be a link between periodontal disease and other diseases such as, stroke, bacterial pneumonia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and increased risk during pregnancy. Researchers are determining if inflammation and bacteria associated with periodontal disease affects these systemic diseases and conditions. Smoking also increases the risk of periodontal disease.
Good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and regular dental visits can help reduce your risk of developing periodontal disease.

Dr. Danielson and the entire staff are each excellent in their individual areas of expertise. We were patients of theirs for 15 years until we moved from Ridgecrest six years ago. We now live in Nevada and we still drive 600+ miles roundtrip to obtain our dental care from this team. Most recent visit was May 2022. We will not go anywhere else!

After having periodontal surgery years ago, my teeth became very sensitive and this made me very leery of Dentist. Dr. Danielsson and his team take every step possible to make me feel at ease while addressing my sensitivity issues. They are very professional and kind and DR. Danielsson does exceptional dental work. I would and do recommend Dr. Danielsson to everyone looking for an extraordinary Dentist.

I went for a cleaning with Dr. Danielsson this morning. As always, Jorge (my hygienists) did a great job. I've been going to this office for a while now and I enjoy every visit there. Dr. Danielsson and the staff are friendly and very professional. I wish I can give them more than 5 stars because they are AWESOME! Highly recommend this office!

I suffer from high anxiety whenever it comes to dental work but with Dr Danielsson, my anxiety was minimal. I wish that I had found him along time ago. All work is done in house. No wearing temporary crowns while waiting for permanents. Dr Danielsson and his staff are very friendly and professional. I highly recommend him
