Forgetting to floss once in a while or postponing a dental checkup for a few weeks when something comes up won’t necessarily derail your oral health.
But neglecting your teeth habitually will inevitably lead to serious dental problems.
And no problem is more sinister than gum disease, an infection that silently attacks healthy gum tissue and is responsible for more tooth loss than any other oral health threat.
You may not notice the signs of gum disease, like bleeding, swollen gums or loose teeth until it’s already in an advanced stage, which is why you never want to skip a dental checkup. We can catch it early and provide effective treatment to eradicate gum disease to keep your smile safe!

For the past 4 years my husband and I have been going to Dr Pierce. We lived a few blocks away when we first went there; now we live over 30 miles from his office but we still go to him because he is in every way excellent! His ‘bedside’ manner is warm & friendly; he explains everything no matter how many questions I ask; I can count on his treatment being as painless as possible and his work is … beautiful. I’ve handed him some tough problems and he has done amazing work. I highly recommend him. Since we have moved often, I’ve been to many dentists. A few were top class, but Dr Pierce is the best. Everyone else in the office is also very friendly. The waiting room is nicely appointed and comfortable.
In my opinion, Pierce and Knight Dentistry provides excellent dental care. The dentists are very skilled and patiently answer any questions. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Also they maintain a very neat and clean office. I would recommend this practice to anyone searching for dental services.
