What are the Dangers of Not Treating My Gum Disease?
Left unchecked, gum disease can have an impact on your health. It has been linked to cardiovascular disease, stroke, heart disease, and diabetes. In addition, gum disease can weaken bones around teeth so they loosen and fall out. It’s all about inflammation!
Our dentist will assess your situation to determine if you have a form of periodontal disease that requires treatment. At East Mahogany Dental, we’ll make sure you get the treatment you need before gum disease becomes a problem for your overall health.
Why Do I Have Such Bad Breath?
If you’ve been wondering why you have such bad breath, it may be because you have gum disease. Gum disease is caused by certain bacteria and also the buildup of plaque on teeth, and if it continues untreated, it can damage the gums and jawbone. Fortunately, with regular brushing and flossing, as well as routine cleanings designed to fight gum-disease-causing bacteria, you can keep your gums healthy and your bad breath at bay.
What Causes Gum Disease And Periodontal Disease?
Gum disease is a serious infection that can lead to tooth loss and other health problems. It often starts with plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that builds up on your teeth. If left untreated, plaque will cause inflammation of your gums and release toxins that can damage your whole body.
Gum disease can affect people who have other medical conditions more so than those who do not. Here are a few of the most common things related to gum disease:
- Diabetes
- Stress
- Smoking
- Alcohol consumption
- Poor oral hygiene
- Genetics
If you’re having trouble with one of these health problems, we can discuss gum disease prevention and therapy. Call us today for an appointment.
How Do I Prevent Gum Disease?
The best way to prevent gum disease is by brushing your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristle toothbrush and flossing at least twice every day. Also, routine cleanings with our hygienists can help prevent the build-up of plaque.
