GUM DISEASE - WOODBURY, MN

Fix Tooth Loss Caused By Gum Disease With Dental Implants!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN YOUR TOOTH LOSS

Have you experienced foul breath and or bad tastes in your mouth, bleeding when brushing, or receding gums? If so, you may be one of the millions of people suffering from gum disease, a progressive condition affecting the hard and soft tissues of the mouth. Caused by toxin-releasing bacteria from a buildup of plaque and tartar, gum disease often happens so gradually, only a professional can spot the symptoms in time.

Not surprisingly, untreated gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults, with irreversible damage to the gum tissue and jaw bone having already occurred by the time you notice your teeth feel more mobile. You are certainly not alone in this situation, however, and if you have lost teeth due to gum disease, you don’t have to continue living with an incomplete or painful smile.

RISK FACTORS FOR GUM DISEASE

Oral symptoms of gum disease should be evaluated in a timely manner, and include:

Health Risks

Failing to treat gum disease may increase your risk of developing or exacerbating systemic health conditions such as:

THE STAGES OF GUM DISEASE

GINGIVITIS

Characterized by tender, swollen gums that bleed when the teeth are brushed and flossed. This is caused by toxin-releasing bacteria found in the plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth, leading to inflammation of the gum tissue. Professional deep cleanings can effectively treat this stage and halt further spread of infection.

PERIODONTITIS

Characterized by gums that pull away from the teeth as inflammation continues to infect the gum tissue surrounding teeth. Pockets around the teeth begin to form, creating more surface area for plaque buildup and bacteria to develop below the gumline. Toxins produced by bacterial plaque may begin break-down of the jaw bone.

ADVANCED PERIODONTITIS

Characterized by severely deep pockets around teeth and irreversible damage to the gum tissue and underlying bone. Without support structures, teeth become mobile. Pus may develop around the teeth and gums, along with chronic bad breath and a bad taste in the mouth. The risk for tooth loss is greatly increased.
