Gum Disease Treatment

GUM DISEASE

Gum (Periodontal) disease isn’t widely talked about, but it can have a major impact on your life. Gum disease is chronic inflammation and infection in the tissues and bone that surround and support your teeth. It is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Chronic gum disease affects just under 50% of adults over 30 in the United States. It can lead to the loss of tissue and bone that support the teeth and it may become more severe over time.

GUM DISEASE

Research shows a strong link between gum disease and several health problems– including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s, but only a small percentage of these adults get the treatment they need. Patients suffering from gum disease often feel less confident and fear losing their teeth. Our office is proud to offer two treatment options for patients suffering from gum disease

Treatments for Gum Disease
