Your gums do more than just hold your teeth in place – they provide essential support for a healthy, functional smile. When gum disease or other periodontal issues develop, they can lead to serious complications, including tooth loss and bone deterioration. Our office is pleased to provide periodontics in Montgomery, New Jersey, to help patients maintain strong, healthy gums for life.
Do You Need Periodontal Care? Look for These Signs
Gum disease often progresses slowly, making it easy to overlook early warning signs. However, certain symptoms indicate that professional periodontal care may be necessary, including:
- Red, swollen or tender gums
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession, making teeth appear longer
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Deep pockets between teeth and gums
If left untreated, gum disease can lead to irreversible damage, making early intervention essential.
How Periodontal Care Benefits Your Oral Health
Investing in periodontal treatment provides long-term advantages, not only for your smile but for your overall health. Some key benefits include:
- Prevention of Tooth Loss: Strengthens the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
- Better Breath: Removes bacteria and plaque buildup that cause persistent bad breath.
- Reduced Risk of Infection: Helps prevent bacteria from spreading to other areas of the body.
- Healthier Gum Appearance: Treats gum recession and enhances the overall look of your smile.
- Lower Risk of Systemic Conditions: Reduces the chance of developing health issues linked to gum disease, such as heart disease and diabetes.
