Periodontal disease is gum infection found underneath your gum-line. If left untreated, it can cause bone loss around the roots of your teeth making them loose and unable to chew. Gum disease is a silent and most often painless disease. Most people are unaware they have some form of it. A thorough exam by a dentist can detect if you have periodontal disease. Chronic bad breath, (halitosis), bleeding, red and puffy gums are early signs of gum infection. The treatment is a non-surgical approach. A registered dental hygienist can painlessly eliminate the infection, build-up and tarter that is trapped underneath the gum-line. Periodontal disease has also been linked as a contributing factor to heart disease. Periodontal disease treatment can prevent future bone loss around your teeth and enable you to keep your teeth for a lifetime.
