Our Macomb, Michigan, dental office offers the Perio Protect Method as a new and effective treatment to help combat periodontal disease.
How Do I Know If I Have Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection resulting when food, bacteria, and tartar are not sufficiently cleaned from the teeth. (Yet again, proving the crucial nature of flossing daily!) In the beginning, the infection develops along the gum line. When left untreated, the disease will progress beneath the gums, damaging the gums, teeth, and bone. It’s not only painful, it’s dangerous to your overall health.
Those who suffer from periodontal disease often encounter:
Red and swollen gums
Bleeding gums when brushing
Chronic bad breath
Loose teeth
Gum recession
Medical studies have also discovered a possible association between infected gums and heart, lung, and circulation conditions. The bacteria causing periodontal disease can also invade the body and contribute to other systemic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, strokes, pre-term deliveries, systemic inflammation, and pancreatic cancer.
If you would like to schedule a Perio Protect Method treatment or get more information about periodontal disease, contact our Shelby Township dentist office or St. Clair Shores dental office.
