PERIONDONTAL CARE

Our board-certified Boston dentists and periodontists aim to prevent and avoid dental diseases through a proactive, preventative course of treatment.
However, when periodontal disease develops, our patients can rest assured that they will receive expert periodontal care from our Boston periodontist, Dr. Sam Shamardi. Dr. Shamardi has deep experience with diagnosing and treating the underlying causes of periodontal disease to restore the health of your gums and teeth.

What is periodontal disease?

The word periodontal means “around the tooth”. Periodontal disease attacks the gums and the bone that support the teeth and is characterized by red, swollen and bleeding gums.

What Causes Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease is caused when there is a buildup of plaque and calculus (tartar) which begins to destroy the gums and bone. Plaque is a sticky film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva. If plaque is not removed with daily brushing and regular dental cleanings, it turns into calculus (tartar). As calculus and plaque continue to build up, the gums begin to recede from the teeth. Deeper pockets form between the gums and teeth and these pockets become filled with bacteria and pus.

What an amazing group of staff and providers, I can’t say enough about the level of professionalism and service they provide!! Before I came here, I haven’t seen a dentist in 6 years due to prior experience but now I found such a great place and will be staying here forever unless I move out of Mass. I feel blessed and so grateful!! Thank you BCOH, you offer the best experience and service everyone deserves to have!!!

Top quality dental care. Dr. Morreale has taken care of my teeth for more than 30 years and I have always been delighted.

Bill Bulkeley

I got the strongest recommendation I possibly could for this place: my old dentist's kid goes here.

They're a fantastic outfit; everyone that I've dealt with has been professional and capable. They won't try and sell you a bunch of bogus work. So glad I found them.

Roger F.

I have, and will continue to recommend people to Dr. Morreale, Pat and the team at BCOH. The care is great, and for anyone with worries about going to the dentist during the pandemic, this office had nothing to worry about before the craziness. It's one of the cleanest offices you'll encounter. And for anyone fearing the concept of a dentist, they'll absolutely change your mind!
