This is by far the best dentist in Kendall. I've been living here for more than 20 years, and I have had many prior experiences with other dentists, and never have I had such a good experience. I had a dental implant done here about 2 years ago, and I have no complaints.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What are common symptoms of periodontal disease?
Because periodontal infection develops under your gums, you may experience no symptoms while still being affected by the disease. Regular visits with Edkin will help to determine the presence and severity of gum disease. Symptoms of more advanced periodontal disease may include:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums that bleed easily
- Persistent bad breath
- Tooth sensitivity to heat/cold
- Spaces between teeth
- Deep pockets around the teeth
- Missing teeth
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Gum recession (longer looking teeth)
How is periodontal infection treated?
Periodontal disease is caused by a bacterial infection that affects the gums and, in severe cases, the jawbone. The primary goal of periodontal therapy is to remove the infection and infection-causing bacteria and to use preventative measures and maintenance to prevent it from returning.
Treatment of periodontal disease can vary with each patient's individual needs. After your initial examination, we will thoroughly explain your different treatment options and work with you to develop an effective treatment plan.
Will periodontal therapy hurt?
At Edkin Family Dentistry, providing you with a comfortable experience during treatment is our primary concern. Using an extensive array of treatments and techniques, we strive to minimize discomfort when treating patients affected by periodontal disease.
Does treatment have to start right away?
Because periodontal infections can grow in bursts of activity, it is important to begin treatment at the very first signs of disease. A delay in treatment may allow this bacterial infection to eat away at the bone which supports your teeth, leading to tooth and even bone loss and other severe symptoms which require more intensive treatments. If a periodontal infection is left untreated it will continue to grow, cause inflammation and discomfort, and could lead to medical complications elsewhere in the body.
