One of the things that sets Red Maple Dental apart from other local dentists in Asheville, NC is our process of co-discovery. Dr. Shawna Hoffert believes it is important to partner with you and takes the time to listen to your personal needs and goals. It is through this doctor-patient collaborative relationship that we can provide you with an exceptional dental experience and the treatment options that are right for you.
Connecting Oral Health and Overall Health
Healthy gums are the foundation for a healthy mouth. Dr. Hoffert spends time with patients to educate them on the importance of periodontal health and how it impacts the overall health of the body.
Gum disease is one of the leading dental concerns, characterized as an inflammation of the gums. Numerous studies have linked gum disease to other chronic diseases including diabetes, stroke and heart disease. In addition, gum disease increases risks for pregnant women such as premature birth and low birth weight.
