December 25, 2009, Newsletter Issue #103: Gum Disease
Tip of the Week
About 3/4 people over the age of 34 will develop gum disease. If you let it go to long, you can develop pariodontitus, a bacterial infection that may cause teeth to loosen and fall out. Bacteria is the cause of gum disease. It spreads to the deep tissue around the roots of the teeth, eventually eroding the ligaments and bone. Here are the rules: 1. Be sure your dentist checks your gums, x-rays for bone loss, and probe gum lines. 2. Pockets of the gum should be measured each visit, and documented. Discover of periodontitis should be treated with root planing and scaling, or antibiotic fibers in the affected pockets.
