Dallas Periodontics and Dental Implants – Periodontics in Dallas, TX 75231
Periodontal disease, commonly called gum disease, is a progressive condition affecting the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. It begins with gingivitis, characterized by inflammation of the gums, often resulting from plaque accumulation. If left untreated, it can advance to periodontitis, which involves the destruction of the bone and tissue that support the teeth. This can ultimately lead to tooth mobility and loss.
The consequences of untreated, periodontal disease extend beyond oral health. Research suggests a connection between periodontitis and systemic conditions such as heart disease, respiratory disease, and diabetes. The inflammation and bacteria associated with periodontal disease can enter the bloodstream, potentially exacerbating health issues.
