Advances in Periodontal Disease Treatment

Periodontal disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss requiring treatment in order to halt the progression of disease and preserve healthy gums and teeth. Periodontal disease (gum disease) is a bacterial infection which causes damage to the gums and destroys the bone surrounding the teeth. Gum disease begins with no symptoms or pain and progresses over time, destroying more and more tissue. Gum tissue becomes puffy, reddened, and bleeds when brushing. As the gums recede, periodontal disease causes loose teeth in adults.

Gum Disease Is Linked to Overall Health

Periodontal health has been linked to overall health of the body. Multiple studies have linked periodontal disease to systemic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. If periodontal disease is directly connected to these serious health conditions, then it makes sense to use a tool which tests for the presence of destructive bacteria in your mouth.

Early Detection of Periodontal Disease Is Key
