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.
