Gum Disease Treatment in Phoenix & Gilbert, AZ

Gum disease can lead to other serious health conditions. Untreated gum disease can increase the risk for heart disease, pancreatic cancer and premature births.

Why Do I Need To Get Treated?

Gum disease is a condition that affects millions of Americans. However, its problems are not limited to the oral areas of the body. Untreated, it has been linked with numerous other health conditions, including heart disease, pancreatic cancer and premature births. Consequently, it is critical for anyone with suspected periodontal disease to get the treatment they need as soon as possible under the care of trained dental professionals such as those at Dental Specialty Associates.

How Do I Know If I Have It?

The key to avoiding complications of periodontal disease is to get diagnosis and treatment at the first warning signs.

These signs often include:

  • Bleeding or pain when brushing or flossing.
  • Chronic halitosis (bad breath).
  • Gums that are red and swelling.
  • Teeth that are suddenly starting to feel loose.
  • Receding gums.
  • Pus between the teeth, or inside of the gums
 

Why Should I Treat It?

If you recognize these symptoms of periodontal disease, you should take action immediately. The sooner you get periodontal disease treatment from a dental care professional, the sooner your mouth will be healthy again. Early treatment may even eliminate periodontal disease, especially if it has not progressed to an advanced stage. However, even advanced stage periodontal disease can be stopped with regular cleanings and other dental practices.

Remember that periodontal disease is not a normal condition, nor is it something you have to live with! You can enjoy a healthier mouth with the right kind of advanced intervention techniques.
