At SmileArc, we want to restore your oral health with periodontal therapy! Gum disease is a serious problem that can lead to multiple dental and overall health conditions. Luckily, periodontal therapy can return wellbeing to your gums and keep your health protected.
If you think gum disease shouldn’t be a concern, consider these facts:
- The number one reason adults experience tooth loss is due to gum disease.
- The oral bacteria that causes gum disease and tooth decay has been linked to heart attacks, strokes, and other systemic health issues.
- It only takes 24 hours for oral bacteria to become dangerous enough to affect your dental health.
So, how do you know if you have gum disease? If you’re not brushing and flossing regularly, chances are good that you have some form of gum disease. Are you experiencing any of the following symptoms?
- Bleeding gums
- Red or discolored gums
- Pockets forming around your teeth
- Loosening teeth
- Chronic bad breath
At SmileArc, we’re concerned about your oral health! Periodontal therapy can rid your gums of the bacteria and tartar that affects your dental wellbeing. And if you keep a daily oral hygiene routine along with your twice-yearly checkups at our clinic, then you can ensure the continued good health of your gums and teeth.
