Periodontal Disease

     Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease that affects the soft and hard tissues that support the teeth. The early stages of this disease is gingivitis. Major risk factors for this disease include an inherited or a genetic predisposition, smoking, lack of routine home care, age, diet, certain systemic diseases, and various medications.
     When periodontal disease is present, the potential for bone loss has already begun. Depending on the patients risk factors, bone loss can occur quickly and become aggressive very easily. In patients with few risk factors, peridontal disease can be reversed with early nonsurgical intervention. This is why it is very important to see your Dentist and Hygenist every six months for regular check ups.
