What is Periodontal (Gum) Disease?

Periodontal disease is a slow, painless disease that is progressive if left unchecked. In fact, most individuals are unaware that they have it until they experience one or more of the following signs:bleeding gums (during brushing or flossing) red, swollen or tender gums receding gums and/or exposed roots loose teeth or a change in bite bad breath.

More than half of all adults ages 35 and over have the early stages of this disease. Studies reveal that 75-90% of all adults are eventually affected by it. Periodontal disease is the primary cause of lost teeth after age 35! But, the good news is that there are steps you can take to prevent this disease. If caught in the early stages, gum disease can be reversed.
