What Can Cause a Burst of Infection Activity?

People with periodontal disease have low resistance to periodontal bacteria. This causes an ongoing gum infection that grows in-bursts of activity. Each time it grows, more support for your teeth is lost. Some factors that can cause this to occur may include:

Poor oral hygiene
Dental plaque
Smoking
Genetic factors
Stress or tension
Diet
Age
Illness
Bad bite
Systemic Illness
Smoking / Tobacco
Grinding

I visited the practice for a teeth cleaning, and the experience was excellent. They brought me back early for my appointment, did a great job with my cleaning, and were easy to schedule with for my next appointment. Overall, they are a 6 on a 5 scale…😊

When my bridge unexpectedly fell out after 18 years on June 22, I called My Scottsdale Dentist, and they were able to see me the very same day at noon. Dr. Elannan thoroughly evaluated my situation, explained all of my options, and developed a plan to replace my bridge. Within just 2½ hours, I left with a temporary bridge, and they had already ordered my new porcelain bridge. I was so impressed by their efficiency, professionalism, and genuine care. Our family cannot say enough good things about this practice. Every time we’ve called—whether during regular office hours or after hours—they have been responsive, accommodating, and compassionate. I highly recommend Dr. Elannan and the entire My Scottsdale Dentist team to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. They truly go above and beyond for their patients!

I would you like to thank Dr. Poulos and he’s staff for doing such an amazing job. Also for being available on a Sunday morning to see me and making my tooth extraction go very smoothly and pain free. We appreciate you Dr. Poulos!! Maribel R.

My dentist is very experienced—he always takes the time to explain everything and does everything he can to ensure my teeth are well taken care of. I highly recommend them to anyone needing dental work!
