University Dental Group Comprehensive and Preventive Patient Care in Des Moines Welcome to our office! We take great satisfaction in helping you maintain optimal oral health.

Our practice is devoted to comprehensive and preventive patient care. Children’s dental health is very important to us. We recommend that a child’s first dental visit occur shortly after their first birthday and after the first tooth has erupted. This is an ideal time for our team to evaluate your child’s oral, dental, and nutritional health. Throughout our website, you will find an abundance of information about our practice, procedures we provide, and dentistry in general. Please explore and learn as much about dentistry and our services as you desire. We believe our patients should have as much information as possible in order to make important, informed decisions regarding their oral health. Our patients are our most important asset, and we strive to develop long-lasting, trusting relationships. Your referrals are welcome and appreciated.

Gum disease can be treated, but the right treatment depends on what your gums need.

Treatment may range from professional cleanings and an improved home care routine for early-stage gum disease, to deeper treatments like scaling and root planing for more advanced periodontal disease.

We also offer PerioProtect, a simple at-home therapy that uses comfortable, custom-fitted trays and PerioGel to deliver medication below the gumline where brushing and flossing can’t reach. The trays are worn in easy 15-minute intervals, and many patients see improvement in as little as two weeks.

The goal is simple: reduce harmful bacteria and inflammation and help you maintain healthier gums.

If you’ve noticed signs of gum disease, talk with our team about which treatment approach may be right for you.

Remembering September 11, 2001. 🇺🇸

25 years later, we continue to remember the lives lost on 9/11 and honor the many first responders, healthcare workers, and ordinary people who stepped forward to care for others in a time of unimaginable loss.

As a team dedicated to caring for our patients and our community, we are reminded today of the importance of compassion, service, and looking out for one another.
One of our team members had the opportunity to visit Manhattan this year in March. Stacey has shared a few pictures from her trip.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Healthy gums should feel comfortable and look healthy. But if you’re noticing any of these red flags, it may be time to pay closer attention:

🚩 Gums that are red, swollen, or tender

🚩 Bleeding when brushing or flossing

🚩 Receding gums or teeth that appear longer

🚩 Loose or shifting teeth

🚩 Change in your bite

And here’s the tricky part: gum disease doesn’t always cause pain. You can have a problem without realizing it.

Save this post as a reminder to keep an eye on your gum health, and talk with your dental team if you notice changes. 🦷
