Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss. Gum disease has two primary stages. If diagnosed and treated in the first stage, the condition can be reversed and tooth loss can usually be prevented. In order to prevent gum disease,practice good oral hygiene and visit your dentist for cleanings and check-ups twice a year.
This stage only affects the soft tissue of the gums, and the patient may not experience any discomfort. Although the symptoms may be very mild, it is important to diagnose gum disease in this early stage before it progresses to periodontitis.
Periodontitis is the name for more advanced periodontal disease and if permitted to progress to this point, not only the gums are affected but the bone structures supporting the teeth will be compromised.
A build-up of bacteria causes Gingivitis. In its early stages, inflammation around the gums is observable, with gum tissues appearing red and swollen. Gums that are easily irritated or that bleed during tooth brushing indicate the presence of Gingivitis. Removal of the plaque buildup is necessary to prevent the development of gum disease.
As the gums become more inflamed, they start to pull away from the teeth, forming spaces known as periodontal pockets. Food, bacteria, and plaque begin to collect in the pockets, leading to infection. The surrounding bone becomes damaged both by bacterial toxins and by the immune systemsresponse to infection.
Ten years spent in Colorado at University of Denver & CU School of Dental Medicine further shaped me into the person I am today. Colorado and The Rocky Mountains are a second home to me and where I met my husband, a fellow DU graduate and Connecticut native.

Dr. Drexler was wonderful. She was really gentle with the anesthesia that was injected into my gum and was very patient to answer any questions I had. Mikayla was very nice and gentle with my cleaning. I usually bleed quite a lot from cleaning, but the pain and bleeding was very minimal. This place is great!

My experience at Sasha Drexler Dentistry was amazing from start to finish. The staff is professional, caring, and accomodating. Not only did the staff make me feel comfortable while completing a comprehensive exam, but both the hygienist and Dr. Drexler took the time to listen to my dental history and create a plan for the future. I will definitely be coming back for all my future dental needs!

I have bounced around dentists for years and I have finally found comfort in Sasha Drexler Dentistry! They are extremely professional and talk you through everything. I have never felt that I am being price gouged. I have been during the pandemic and everything is extremely clean and all guidelines are being followed. My wife no longer complains of my grinding teeth with my new nightguard! I would highly recommend Dr. Drexler to everyone.

I used to hate going to the dentist before I found Dr. Drexler. She approaches her patients with understanding and kindness and really takes the time to explain what she's doing and make them feel comfortable with her approach. I was hesitant to make an appointment during the pandemic, but the office was extremely clean and they made every effort to ensure my safety. Dr. Drexler is a highly skilled dentist with an outstanding staff that I would recommend to anyone!
