Periodontal Disease - Silent And Deadly
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 Dr Bill Davis Family Dentistry effective prevention and treatment is available, but the damage caused
as the disease progresses is irreversible.
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.
