GUM DISEASE IS A SILENT, HIDDEN DISEASE. 

Gum disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the gum tissue, ligaments, and bone around the teeth. It causes weakening and ultimate destruction of these tissues which protect and support the teeth and hold them in place. Pyorrhea is an older name for this disease. Bleeding gums is generally one of the first warning signs. 

If you experience soreness, bleeding, swelling or recession of the gums, Periodontal Associates invites you to contact us for an evaluation. 

 

Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease has many names (Gum Disease, Gingivitis, Pyorrhea), What you call it is not important. What you do about it is! Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums and bone surrounding your teeth. As it progresses, it usually destroys the bone which supports your teeth. It is the major cause of tooth loss in adults.

Although there are warning signs, the disease is painless and often not taken seriously, especially in the early stages when treatment is most effective. Fortunately, with proper care, periodontal disease can be controlled--even prevented--especially if detected early.
