Do dentists offer services to the uninsured?
This varies from dentist to dentists. Many dentists offer services to the uninsured. Payment plans are available, however, most dentists complete this work with payment at time of service. There are also companies that loan money for health services Suh as Care Credit. Payment plans are an option depending on your current relationship and history with your dental care providers.

What is gingivitis and its risk factors?
Gingivitis is a precursor to periodontal disease. Periodontal disease occurs when the bacteria in your mouth accumulate below the gum line and in between your teeth. This leads to bone loss over time. With gingivitis, bacteria are beginning this process and no bone loss has occured at this time. The gums become inflammed. You will often note that the individuals gums become red and edematous (boggy or swollen in appearance). You may also notice bleeding when you brush or floss. When you notice bleeding with brushing and flossing you are diagnosed with gingivitis (if bone loss has occured you are diagnosed with periodontitis and will cary this diagnosis for the rest of your life). Another thing you may notice is an accumulation of plaque at the gumline in inflammed areas. In order to prevent this you would want to brush and floss twice a day. Propper technique is important associated with brushing and flossing and should be discussed with you by your dental providers. Also important is visiting your dentist for bianual cleanings and exams so any troubled areas can be identified early to prevent progression to periodontal disease. READ MORE
Can a gum infection pass to other parts of the body?
It is true that bacterial infections starting in the mouth can spread to other parts of the body. Although uncommon, bacterial infections from the mouth will be introduced to the blood stream and can cause septecimia as well as failure of artificial joints and heart valves. There are various types of bacteria in the mouth, and it depends on which one gets introduced into the bloodstream and begins to profliferate which will determine which type of infection the patient will obtain. As far as what steps you can take to prevent these infections, the best thing to do would be to maintain your oral hygiene along with regular visits to the dental offices for cleanings. Some dental offices also will complete a procedure with a laser called bacterial reduction prior to cleanings which reduces the bacterial load significantly prior to invasive treatment. If you have artificial joints or artificial valves you may want to speak to your physician or dentist about if premedication with antibiotic prior to cleaning is desired. Additionally, if you have recently undergone surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation, you may want to discuss premedication with your dentist or physician as well. I hope this helps to answer your question. READ MORE
