Periodontal Gum Disease is a serious disease. The good news is, Gum Disease is treatable and can usually be reversed with daily brushing and flossing, and regular deep cleanings performed by a dentist or dental hygienist. If you are experiencing any of the below symptoms, consider making an appointment with Dr. Mangino.
Periodontal Gum Disease Symptoms:
- Bad Breath
- Toothache
- Bright Red Gums
- Loose Teeth
- Receding Gums
- Tender Gums
- Bone Loss
The dental deep cleaning process is the treatment for Periodontal Gum Disease. Dental deep cleanings differ from your regular dental cleanings. A regular dental cleaning focuses on cleaning above the gum line, while a dental deep cleaning focuses on both above and below the gum line to remove calculus, plaque, debris and bacteria.
If you have or think you have Periodontal Gum Disease, you should consider pursuing dental deep cleanings. If your periodontal gum disease is left untreated, it could eventually lead to bone loss and a series of other serious health problems. Periodontal Gum Disease has been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory disease and certain types of cancer.
