Gum Disease

Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection that is a major cause of tooth loss in adults.  Recent studies have linked periodontal disease to heart disease and premature babies.  It is virtually painless and, by the time you are aware of it, your gums and bone could be severely affected.

Some of the warning signs include:

bulletGums that bleed easily
bulletRed, swollen, and tender gums
bulletPermanent teeth that are loose or separating

Prevention and early treatment are imperative.  Periodontal disease can be treated non-surgically.  A new non-surgical technique, which involves inserting antiseptics and antibiotics into the periodontal pocket, has promising results.
