Periodontal gum disease is silent and deadly

Periodontal disease can go on for years without pain and without detection unless specific examination procedures and x-rays are performed.  Some signs of periodontal disease are: bleeding gums, redness of gum tissue, swelling of gums around the teeth, breath odor, receding gums, mobility and shifting of teeth. 

 

Visual oral examination by itself will not reliably detect periodontal disease until it has reached an advanced stage. Early detection and adequate diagnosis require measurement of pockets (the crevice between the tooth and gum) with a periodontal probe. At University Associates in Dentistry effective prevention and treatment is available, but the damage caused as the disease progresses is irreversible.

 

Call our office at (312) 704-5511 to schedule exam for periodontal disease today.
