Periodontal
disease can go on for years without pain and without detection unless
specific examination procedures are performed. Visual oral examination by itself (even by a dentist) will not reliably detect periodontal disease until it has reached an advanced stage. Early detection and adequate diagnosis require measurement of pockets (the crevice between the tooth and gum) with a periodontal probe. At Dental Plus+ Dental Group effective prevention and treatment is available, but the damage caused as the disease progresses is irreversible. Early detection by Dental Plus+ Dental Group 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.
Some signs of periodontal disease are: bleeding gums, redness of gum tissue,
swelling of gums around the teeth, breath odor, receding gums, mobility
of teeth. |
