Did you know that the health of your gums has a domino effect to impact many other aspects of your health? We often talk about dental health and refer to the teeth and jaw bone. But, don’t overlook the importance of gum health.
If periodontal disease is present, then it can damage the teeth and cause the jaw bone to weaken. Additionally, the entire body could potentially be weakened since the immune system is constantly fighting the infection in your gums. Even early stages of periodontal disease can cause permanent, life-long damage. So, it is essential to seek treatment as soon as possible.
During your dental visit, we check the health of your gums to identify periodontal diseases. Then, treatments can be used to remedy areas that have been affected by gum disease.
