Gum Disease... The Smile with Style Team
Dental Conditions and Patient Concerns:
Gum Disease
Studies demonstrate that at least 75% of extractions performed on adults are due to periodontal (gum) disease. Once known as "pyorrhea," periodontitis is primarily caused by the same factors that cause tooth decay - the accumulation of plaque at and beneath the gum line.
In its early stages gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) affects 98% of the population. Left untreated, it is likely to lead to mild, moderate, and ultimately, advanced periodontitis with premature loss of teeth. Ironically, periodontal disease can be prevented, an approach far less costly and distressing than periodontal treatment for more advanced cases.
Today, life expectancies are projected well into the eighties, and beyond. It is a gross miscalculation that tooth loss and full dentures are inevitable. With proper home care, and professional supervision, there is no reason why people can't enjoy the comforts of dental health, well into later life.
