Does an adult tooth feel loose? Don’t wait to have it checked.

Dr. Syeda Mahbub explains that tooth mobility can mean the support around a tooth has weakened, including from gum disease. A prompt evaluation can identify what’s happening and help you understand your treatment options.

If a tooth is shifting or feels loose, contact District Dental Surgery to arrange an evaluation.

Creating space is only part of Dr. Raha Yousefi’s MARPE journey.

As her upper jaw continues to expand and her teeth are repositioned, she’s also thinking about where her tongue rests and how she breathes. In this update, she shares why myofunctional therapy is part of her personal plan.

Every treatment plan is individual. If you have questions about jaw expansion, tongue posture, or breathing, talk with your dental team about what applies to you.

Gum disease doesn’t always hurt—and it can progress before you realize anything is wrong.

Dr. Syeda Mahbub explains why early attention matters. Bleeding when you brush or floss, tender gums, discomfort while chewing, or a tooth that feels loose are all reasons to have your gums evaluated.

If something feels off, don’t wait for pain to be your signal. Contact District Dental Surgery to discuss your symptoms and next steps.

What happens after MARPE creates space? Dr. Raha Yousefi is taking the next step with a digital intraoral scan for clear aligners. 🦷

In this update, she explains how aligners can help guide teeth into the new space and address crowding in her lower front teeth. For her, improving alignment may also make those hard-to-reach areas easier to clean.

Follow along as Dr. Yousefi shares her own treatment journey from the patient’s chair. If you’re curious about options for crowding or bite concerns, a personalized evaluation is the place to start.

Bleeding gums when you brush aren’t something to ignore. 🩸🦷

Dr. Syeda Mahbub explains that frequent bleeding can be a sign of inflammation, gingivitis, or more advanced gum disease. Plaque and bacteria around the gumline can trigger swelling, sensitivity, and bleeding—even when you’re brushing and flossing regularly.

If your gums bleed often or feel swollen or tender, it’s time for a professional evaluation. Early diagnosis and the right care can help restore healthier gums.

How we breathe can shape how we grow—and how well we sleep. 🌬️🦷

Dr. Raha Yousefi joins airway-focused orthodontist Dr. Jen Smith and periodontist Dr. Lucy Johnson for a conversation about breathing, facial development, sleep quality, and why early awareness can help set children up for long-term health.

The goal isn’t to diagnose every child—it’s to give parents the knowledge to notice patterns, ask thoughtful questions, and seek guidance when something feels familiar.

After a painful failed gum graft, going through surgery again was not an easy decision.
This patient came to District Dental Surgery looking specifically for a gum specialist. She shares how Dr. Lucy Johnson listened to her previous experience, walked her through her options, and helped her feel comfortable moving forward.
Today, she says the gum recession that once caused constant discomfort and affected how she felt about her smile has been resolved, and her quality of life has improved.
Her biggest regret? Not coming in sooner.
Individual experiences and results may vary.

Staying educated is an essential part of providing excellent patient care.

Dr. Syeda Mahbub explains that new research, techniques, and materials are continually being developed to improve healing, comfort, and clinical outcomes after periodontal surgery.

She takes great pride in how her patients recover and is highly selective about the materials and techniques she uses.

For Dr. Mahbub, continuing education means always looking for ways to make treatment more comfortable and help patients achieve the best possible outcome.

Guess what? Dr. Yousefi’s palate has split.

This new X-ray shows a visible space between her front teeth following MARPE expansion. The change can now be seen both on the X-ray and in her smile.

She is also beginning to breathe through her left nostril, which was completely blocked before treatment.

This is one of the biggest milestones in Dr. Yousefi’s MARPE journey so far. Follow along to see what happens next.

What would you do if someone told you part of your home’s foundation was missing?

Dr. Lucy Johnson explains that gum recession should be viewed in a similar way. It is not only about how your smile looks. Recession may mean that a tooth has lost part of the tissue and support that help keep it healthy.

Visible roots, sensitivity, or changes along the gumline should not be ignored. An early periodontal evaluation can help identify the cause and determine what treatment may be needed.
