Dentist in Sunrise, FL
Westgate Dental
Friendly Staff. Beautiful Smiles. Welcoming Environment.
You may have heard about gum disease, also known as “periodontitis” or “periodontal disease.” Maybe a dental professional or hygienist recently told you that you have this infection. But do you really know the difference between periodontal disease and other types of complications that can affect your mouth, such as gingivitis? Do you know why it’s so important to treat periodontal disease-and why brushing and flossing alone won’t do the trick?
Most importantly, did you know that periodontal disease is today’s #1 cause of tooth loss among American adults? Or that, although a causal relationship between periodontal disease and an elevated risk for systemic events has not been established, recent data suggest a possible association between periodontal disease and other health issues including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and preterm low birth-weight babies?
Yes! Periodontal disease is very serious! It causes harm to your oral health, especially your gums, and if left untreated, it can lead to jawbone loss and tooth loss. There are also overall health effects if you ignore the gum diseases. So if you are facing any oral problems, we will suggest you contact your dentist immediately! If your gums are starting to bleed a little bit, it may a sign of periodontal disease. Call Westgate Dental and schedule an appointment today.
