Gum Disease
Many adults suffer from some form of gum disease, or periodontitis. In fact, you might be suffering from the early stages without even knowing it! You can develop gum disease for many reasons. You might not be keeping up with your daily dental hygiene routine. You may be a smoker. You might have other health complications or a hereditary disposition. Whatever the reason, untreated gum disease—a severe bacterial infection—can lead to gum recession, jawbone recession, and tooth loss. At its advanced stage, periodontitis, gum disease is incurable and can even contribute to such serious systemic health issues as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. We can help you avoid all of these with gum disease treatment in Indianapolis, IN, including scaling and root planing and periodontal maintenance.
