We do everything we can to help our patients have long-lasting oral health. This is one of the reasons we are extremely passionate about our patients regularly visiting us for an oral hygiene examination and cleaning.
At Kewaskum Family Dentistry, we care about the state of your teeth as well as your gums. There is a common condition known as gum disease that affects more than half of American adults. It is likely that you know someone who suffers from gum disease. If you are unfamiliar, gum disease is an infection that develops in the gum tissue. The severity can depend on the length of time you have been experiencing symptoms. Receiving regular dental care is important, as dental professionals are the only ones who are able to diagnose the condition. Unlike other dental issues, the symptoms often make themselves known when it is too late.
We don’t know about you, but we can’t believe the holiday season has ended and we have started 2023!

We want to share the importance of continuing to care for your oral health even when you are feeling under the weather. Failure to care for your teeth properly can lead to major consequences in the future.
