Periodontitis

Your periodontist is your best friend, because he will you to maintain the health of your gums and also your general health. Gums are that important. People might not realize the seriousness of bleeding gums or tooth sensitivity when they first occur, but by the time they have reached an advanced stage and they are under threat of losing their teeth it will be more real to them. But even then some of them won’t be looking at the full picture – because gum disease is connected to a lot of other serious conditions.

Periodontal comes from the Greek and means around the tooth. Periodontitis is the second most common dental disease worldwide after dental decay. The thing is, your gums and your teeth, if you catch the problem early on, can be handled quite easily by the simple act of brushing and flossing twice a day. As the condition progresses and your gums and teeth deteriorate, it doesn’t mean you are without hope.
