APPOINTMENTSPeriodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a condition in which the gum tissue within your mouth is decaying over time. If left untreated, it can develop into gingivitis and eventually cause tooth loss.
Has your smile taken a hit due to periodontal disease? Here are some things you should look for in regard to the disease:
– Do your teeth appear extra loose or out of position?
– Are you on occasion suffering from bad breath, also known as halitosis, which continues to return even after brushing and flossing?
– Have you been in to see your dentist lately for an oral checkup?
– Are your gums pulling back from your teeth, making your teeth look longer than normal?
– Are your gums bleeding heavily and often during mealtime or while brushing or flossing?
– Are you taking any treacherous substances, such as drugs or tobacco?
– Are you taking any medications that have dry mouth as an identified symptom?
– Do your gums look abnormal, including signs of inflammation, extreme swelling, or tenderness when touched or used?
