Why is gum health important?

It’s essential to maintaining gum health for your overall oral health and well-being. Healthy gums provide the foundation for healthy teeth and can prevent tooth loss. 

Gum disease is a common condition that affects the tissues that support your teeth. Symptoms include swelling, redness, and bleeding, and if left untreated, gum disease poses a significant threat to your health. 

Gum disease doesn’t affect just your oral health. It’s also linked to several systemic health conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Therefore, it's essential to practice good oral hygiene and seek expert help from Mowry Dental to maintain healthy gums.

What causes periodontal disease?

Gum disease can have several causes, ranging from poor lifestyle habits, like using tobacco products, to genetics and hormonal changes. Poor nutrition, some medical conditions, and certain medications can also contribute to the development of gum disease. 

Plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth, which contributes to periodontal disease. Some conditions that weaken your immune system, such as diabetes or HIV, may also exacerbate the issue. Adopt an optimal oral hygiene regimen to reduce your risk of gum disease. Scheduling regular check-ups with Mowry Dental also helps you avoid periodontal disease.

What are the benefits of periodontics?

Periodontics has many benefits for your dental health. By addressing and treating periodontal disease, you can prevent further damage to teeth and gums and can potentially reverse some effects of the disease. 

Treatment options for periodontal disease can include gum and bone grafts, laser therapy, root planing, and more. These treatment options can significantly improve your gum health and prevent further damage.
