What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is an infectious and inflammatory condition that affects your gums and the bone structure supporting your teeth. Caused by a growing colony of living bacteria known as "plaque," this common issue impacts 3 out of 4 adults and stands as the leading cause of adult tooth loss. At My Care Dental, we understand the seriousness of this disease and are committed to providing comprehensive and preventative care to treat and safeguard your teeth before it even begins.
The Importance of Periodontal Cleaning
Though subtle in the early stages, Periodontal Disease can pose a significant threat to your oral health. With little to no pain in the early stages, it's easy to overlook puffiness and occasional bleeding. However, the toxins from plaque quietly fuel the disease, risking extensive bone destruction and potential tooth loss if untreated. Early detection through regular check-ups and proactive oral care is key. Fortunately, when caught early, periodontal disease is manageable and treatable, allowing patients to regain control over their oral health and preserve their smiles.
