Your gums and teeth have an interdependent relationship. In other words, healthy teeth depend on the support of healthy gums. Unfortunately, many people don't realize that periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults, affecting more than half of all adults in the United States. However, despite its prevalence, gum disease remains quite preventable. By maintaining excellent oral hygiene at home and getting routine professional care and periodic teeth cleanings, you can keep your gums in top shape.
If you notice that your gums are bleeding with the slightest pressure while brushing or flossing, it may be a sign of gingivitis. While this is the earliest stage of gum disease, it can easily be reversed with a deeper cleaning and an improved regimen of oral hygiene at home. If you have more advanced gum disease, we'll recommend more extensive methods of periodontal therapy to prevent further damage and stop the progression of the disease.
At the office of Associates in Dentistry, we're dedicated to providing the highest quality of skilled and compassionate care. For more information on our office and the many services that we provide, give us a call today.
