Make A Difference With A Better Smile

Posted last September 8, 2010, 8:05 am for Oasis Dental in Health report article

A smile can shape relationships and bridge a thousand hearts.  Current research indicates that 80% of Americans suffer from some kind of gum disease.  You are not alone.  Periodontal (gum) diseases range from as mild as gingivitis, which is inflammation of gums to a more serious condition called periodontitis, which if left untreated, may lead to bone damage and tooth loss.  Studies have found links between periodontal diseases and overall health problems such as recurrent pneumonia, heart problems, stroke, and diabetes.  There’s a host of factors that affect overall gum and tooth health such as proper oral hygiene, diet, tobacco, certain medications/drugs, pregnancy, stress and genetics.

If you have ANY of the following warning signs, visit your dentist for a complete evaluation.

• ·         Gums that bleed easily

• ·         Red, swollen, tender gums

• ·         Gums that have pulled away from the teeth

• ·         Pus between the teeth and gums
