Gum Disease
Do you struggle with swollen, bleeding Gums? Periodontal disease — more frequently referred to as Gum Disease is an inflammation or infection of the gums that can progressively affect the bone that surrounds and supports your teeth.
What causes Gum Disease?
As dental plaque and tartar develop just under the gum lines, they cause diseased tissues that pull away from your teeth. To treat this condition, a series of deep cleanings (scalings) remove the bacteria to establish a healthy, stable environment again.
Symptoms often include:
Gum recession
Tartar buildup
Bad breath
Bleeding when you brush and floss
Swollen gums
Spaces between teet
Tender gum tissues
The Overall Health Risks
Gum disease is linked to many underlying medical conditions. Research shows us that the more aggressive your periodontal condition, the higher the risk there is for heart disease, stroke, pneumonia, diabetes, and infertility.
Thankfully, gum and bone disease treatment can help your body’s immune system so that these conditions (and others) can be stabilised.
