Periodontal disease - silent and deadly.... |
|
·
If you have
swollen, bleeding gums, you may have periodontal disease. And the
sooner we eliminate |
|
this menace in your mouth, the better. Left untreated,
period can cause serious loss of teeth and bone,
|
|
and it has recently been linked to heart disease and stroke
as well as premature and low weight babies. |
|
|
|
·
Fortunately,
we can stop this infection quickly and easily with laser therapy. It
gently removes infected
|
|
gum
tissue and actually vaporizes the bacteria causing the infection. Very
high tech and very effective. |
|
·
Treating
period is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and
your family. |
|
We take it
seriously, and so should you. |
|
|
|
·
Periodontal disease can go on for
years without pain and without detection unless specific examination |
|
procedures are
performed. Visual oral examination by itself (even by a dentist) will
not reliably detect |
|
periodontal
disease until it has reached an advanced stage. |
| |
|
·
Early detection and adequate
diagnosis require measurement of pockets (the crevice between the
tooth |
|
and gum) with a
periodontal probe. Effective prevention and treatment is available,
but the damage |
|
caused as the
disease progresses is irreversible. |
|
|
|
·
Early detection and treatment is
critical to prevent tooth loss and disfigurement. Although the |
|
procedure is simple,
painless and requires only a few minutes, millions of American adults |
|
have never had it
done. |
|
|
|
·
Signs of periodontal disease -
bleeding gums, redness of gum tissue, swelling of gums |
|
around the teeth,
breath odor, receding gums, mobility of teeth. |
