Nearly 80% of adults in the United States suffer from some level of periodontal disease, and while gum disease might not seem like an epidemic-worthy illness, patients with gum disease are at a higher risk for stroke, blood clots, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, and many other systemic illnesses. If maintaining excellent oral health isn\u2019t one of your top priorities, it should be. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attractivesmiles.com\/contact-us.html\">Call<\/a> Elite Dentistry, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attractivesmiles.com\/\">Marietta, GA<\/a> practice of Dr. Ruth Clemans, to schedule your dental checkup and cleaning today.<\/p>\n<h3>Elite Dentistry \u2013 Best Marietta General Dentist<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attractivesmiles.com\/about-us.html\">Dr. Ruth Clemans<\/a> has been exceeding the expectations of dental patients in the Marietta area since 1987.

It all starts with twice annual checkups and teeth cleanings at our fantastic dental practice where we offer elite service without the elite prices.<\/p>\n<h3>Your Marietta Dentist for Great Oral Health<\/h3>\n<p>In the past, dentists focused on treating teeth when they could and replacing teeth when they couldn\u2019t. Then, America entered the First World War, and things began to change. Young soldiers were most frequently cited on their medial reports for having poor oral hygiene. Dental decay was declared an epidemic. Dentists at the time decided things had to change. That\u2019s when dentistry began to shift its perspective to the modern focus on preventive and restorative dental care. Rather than treat problems after they occur, we encourage patients to schedule visits every six months so we can thoroughly clean and examine their teeth in order to prevent dental concerns from advancing. These regular visits in addition to routine at-home hygiene, brushing twice a day and flossing at least once, help to prevent the majority of oral health concerns.<\/p>\n<p>When preventive measures fail, your Marietta dentist is much less likely to remove your teeth the dentists in the past. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attractivesmiles.com\/about-us.html\">Elite Dentistry<\/a> is a practice focused on comprehensive and conservative restorative dental treatment. That means we provide the treatment or therapy that will benefit your full smile for years to come (comprehensive) and we always try to maintain as much of your dental structure as possible (conservative). Restorative care strives to return your smile to its natural look and feel.<\/p>\n<h3>Call Your Dentist, 30062<\/h3>\n<p>We want every patient we see to have the best possible smile, and at Elite Dental, that starts with preventive care visits every 6 months. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attractivesmiles.com\/contact-us.html\">Call<\/a> to schedule your next dental exam today.
