On National Skyscraper Day, we're reminiscing about our Chicago roots and how they've shaped our commitment to elevating your smile.
Did you know that Pure Perio started in the city of Chicago?
At Pure Perio, we value the hard work that builds our community. While we're closed today for Labor Day, we encourage you to reflect on your overall well-being, including your oral health.
Our team looks forward to welcoming you back when our office re-opens tomorrow.
Enjoy a safe and relaxing Labor Day! We'll see you soon.
Dressed in black, but thinking pink (gums, that is)!

Here are five ways that may help prevent heart disease!
1. Know your risk.
2. Eat a healthy diet.
3. Be physically active.
4. Watch your weight.
5. Live tobacco-free.

Do you love visiting the dentist?
We know visiting the dentist isn't everyone's favorite activity. But at Pure Perio, we're changing that one mouth at a time!
When you enter our doors, Dr. Ratliff and the entire team are dedicated to making your visit as comfortable and positive as possible.

Silent, sneaky, and potentially tooth-stealing! Don't let gum disease ninja its way into your smile. Regular check-ups are your best defense! 🥷🦷
MYTH
Periodontal disease is often painless and you may even lose teeth before you feel any pain!
Regular check-ups are key to catching and treating it early. Don't wait for pain - let's keep your smile healthy together!
Tooth pain? Let's get to the root of it and say goodbye to discomfort! 🦷
Understanding what causes tooth pain is the first step to finding relief. Here are some common culprits:
• Exposed roots from receding gums
• Open dental tubules (tiny channels in your teeth)
• Decay or cavities
• Loss of protective enamel
Don't let tooth pain hold you back. Contact us at Pure Perio, and let's work together to get you pain-free!
Your gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth. At Pure Perio, we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge to maintain optimal oral health. Swipe to see the 5 stages of gum disease, from healthy gums to severe periodontitis.

At Pure Perio, we believe that a healthy smile goes beyond just your teeth and gums. Tongue scraping is an often overlooked but important part of your oral hygiene routine that can significantly contribute to your overall oral health and well-being.
Here's why you should consider incorporating tongue scraping into your daily routine:
Removes bacteria
Improves taste
Enhances overall oral hygiene (you still need to brush 😉)
Reduces bad breath

This joke comes at the perfect time, as this weekend is the 115th Chicago to Mac Race.
Dr Ratliff has many friends across the course, and she wishes all racers a safe, fast, and leak-free race.
And speaking of fast...
Congratulations to the Maverick team; they broke the monohull race record!
Are your gums looking a little... questionable? Maybe it's time for a visit to Pure Perio.
Sugary treats feed harmful bacteria.
Satisfy your sweet cravings with fresh fruits instead.
They're naturally sweet and better for your teeth!
Your smile is an engineering marvel!

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in periodontal and gum health by promoting the absorption of calcium, which strengthens the bones that support your teeth. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the risk of gum disease. Ensure you get enough sunlight to boost your vitamin D levels for healthier gums. 🌞🦷
