Symptoms of Periodontal Disease:
- Swollen, puffy and bleeding gums
- Spaces between teeth
- Tooth sensitivity
- Bad breath
- Loose teeth
If not adequately treated, periodontal disease can result in loose teeth and ultimately tooth loss. Early detection and treatment are the key to successful treatment.
Preventing Periodontal Disease:
- Brush and floss your teeth daily
- See your dentist regularly for professional cleaning and monitoring
- If diagnosed with periodontal disease, get treatment early
You should be aware that smoking increases your risk for periodontal disease, and that periodontal disease is considered to be the number one reason for tooth loss.
Some recent research links this disease to various ailments such as stroke, bacteria pneumonia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and an increased risk for complications in pregnancy.
