Patient Treatments
The word
"periodontal" literally means around the tooth. Periodontal
disease, also known as "gum disease, " is a chronic
bacterial infection that damages the gums and bone which supports the
teeth.
Left untreated, periodontal
disease can lead to tooth loss. More importantly, research links
periodontal infection to more serious problems, such as cardiovascular
disease, diabetes and pre-term, low-birth-weight babies.
As ongoing research
continues to define how periodontal disease is linked to these and
other health problems, good oral health is essential. As you can see,
good periodontal health is a key component of a healthy body!
