Periodontal disease is a serious oral health issue that affects many people, potentially without their knowing it. Gum disease develops when plaque and harmful debris build up below your gum line and can result in needing complex oral health treatments to correct. If you are worried about the state of your oral health, Dr. Achikeh provides gum disease treatment in Silver Spring, MD.
Why Treat Gum Disease Now?
Gum disease develops over time and its symptoms can be subtle – you may not even experience any discomfort or other tell-tale signs of an oral health condition. As a result, gums begin to recede and the bacteria can begin to eat away at tooth enamel, creating the need for tissue grafting, or even tooth extraction.
Symptoms of gum disease include:
•Puffy gums
•Bad breath
•Bleeding gums
•Gum recession
•Loose teeth
Your gums are the foundation of your oral health – it’s impossible to have healthy teeth if you’re neglecting your periodontal health. Left untreated, periodontal disease has been shown to lead to a tooth infection, and can even cause stroke, heart attack, and can worsen diabetes. Getting gum disease treatment is easy and is essential to preserving your overall health.
