Periodontal Health

(Health of the tissues surrounding the tooth)

Oral health is an important part of our overall health. Gum diseases and other diseases of the surrounding tissues of the tooth (periodontal diseases) can lead to inflammation of the gums and tooth loss. Recognizing and treating these diseases, which can cause symptoms such as bleeding gums, gum swelling and gum recession, in the early stages will protect the teeth. Regular tooth brushing, interdental care (flossing, etc.) and routine visits to your dentist are the keys to preventing gum disease. Healthy gums are the foundation of a bright smile, and healthy gums are an important element of a healthy life.
