Periodontal Disease
Professional Periodontal Care in Round Lake
When periodontal disease attacks your mouth, it not only affects your gums,
but also the bones that support your teeth. Many dentists warn their patients
about the risk of periodontal disease, but fail to properly educate you. Here at
Round Lake Family Dentistry, if we find that you need periodontal therapy, we take the necessary time
to inform and educate you about how to prevent further damage caused by
the common oral disease.
Several of the possible signs of periodontal disease include:
- Bloody gums
- Puffy, red gums
- Receding gums
- Discomfort
- Tenderness
Periodontal disease is a relatively common disease which generally occurs
as a result of a build-up of plaque and calculus. There are many measures
that you can take to reduce your risk of developing this condition, including
maintaining proper oral hygiene and eating a healthy diet. If you are
interested in scheduling a dental examination, please
