It's Essential To Detect Gum Disease As Early As Possible For A Healthy Mouth.
The Damaging Effects of Untreated Gum Disease
Millions of people with gum disease don’t even know they have it which is why regular checkups with the dentist are so important. Gum disease, otherwise known as periodontal disease, is a progressive infection of the gums that can cause irreversible damage to the gums and teeth if left untreated. In most cases, the cause is poor oral hygiene which means this disease can be prevented.
In addition to increasing the risk of tooth loss, gum disease has been linked to several systemic health conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. This is why it’s more important than ever to pay attention to gum disease symptoms, receive timely treatment, and stick with a periodontal maintenance plan to keep the gums free and clear of any signs of infection.
