You may think that untreated gum disease means only infection, inflammation, and tooth loss. However, new studies link the condition to severe health complications, including:
- Heart and Lung Issues
- Pregnancy Complications
- Specific Types of Dementia
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Specific Types of Cancer
Fortunately, we offer gum infection treatment at our dental office.
Gum disease treatment cannot cure advanced gum disease (periodontitis), but it can reduce your risk of serious complications. Additionally, our preventive dental care can help prevent this condition altogether.
Symptoms of gum disease include:
- Bleeding Gums when brushing and flossing
- Recurring Bad Breath
- Loose Teeth
- Gum Recession
You don’t have to experience every symptom to be diagnosed with gum disease.
Lowering Your Risks of Gum Disease
You can lower your risk of gum disease and tooth loss from gum disease by visiting my dental office every six months for checkups and teeth cleanings. You should also brush and floss at least twice daily.
Other risk factors include pregnancy (hormone changes), diabetes, and tobacco use.
