Periodontal Disease - Silent And Deadly
Periodontal
disease can go on for years without pain and without detection unless
specific examination procedures are performed.
Early detection and adequate diagnosis require measurement of pockets
(the crevice between the tooth and gum) with a periodontal probe.
Effective prevention and treatment is available, but the damage caused
as the disease progresses is irreversible.
Early detection and treatment is critical to prevent tooth loss and
disfigurement. Although the procedure is simple, painless and requires
only a few minutes, millions of American adults have never had it done.
Signs of periodontal disease - bleeding gums, redness of gum tissue,
swelling of gums around the teeth, breath odor, receding gums, mobility
of teeth.
