Did you know that
Periodontal (Gum) Disease affects 3 out of
every 4 adults at some time
during their lives?
Gum disease is slow, silent and
progressive. Most affected
people are unaware they have it until the disease is advanced. It
starts with a buildup of plaque that irritates the gums, causing them to
bleed. Over time, infected gum tissue can deteriorate the jawbone.

Did you know that
having gum disease might increase your
risk of heart attacks?
Studies now indicate an association
between heart disease and gum disease. A common bacteria found in dental plaque may cause blood clots
and increase the risk of heart attacks and respiratory-related illnesses. Heart
disease is twice as high in people with gum disease and affects an
estimated fifty percent of the adult population.
Daily care and regular exams may even
help save your life. Good
oral hygiene, combined with regular exams, can aid in the prevention of
gum disease. Other associated
health risks can often be detected in the mouth such as; cancer, diabetes,
nutritional and vitamin deficiencies and hormonal irregularities.
