Gum disease will affect 75-80% of adults.
If you are over 35, you are more likely to lose your
teeth to gum disease than to any other cause.
Gum disease is often present without any signs or symptoms.
Gum disease is rarely painful.
Only a careful, thorough and proper examination by
a trained dental professional can detect gum disease.
A periodontist is a dentist who has additional education
and training (typically two to three additional years
following dental school) in the A.D.A. recognized specialty
of periodontics and is an expert in the diagnosis and
treatment of gum diseases.
Early diagnosis and treatment are your best chances
at retaining your teeth for a lifetime.
Early treatment usually results in longer lasting health.
Early treatment is usually more comfortable, less costly,
less time-consuming, less stressful, and far more predictable.
