Silent and deadly periodontal gum disease
 Periodontal
disease can go on for years without pain and without detection unless
specific examination procedures are performed.
Visual oral examination
by itself (even by a dentist) will not reliably detect periodontal
disease until it has reached an advanced stage.
Early detection and adequate diagnosis require measurement of pockets
(the crevice between the tooth and gum) with a periodontal probe.
At Teuscher Dental Excellence effective prevention and treatment is available,
but much of the damage caused as the disease progresses is irreversible.
Early detection and treatment by
the Teuscher Dental team are critical to prevent tooth loss and
disfigurement. Although the procedure is simple, painless and
requires only a few minutes, millions of American adults have never
had it done.
Some signs of periodontal disease are: bleeding gums,
redness of gum tissue, swelling of gums around the teeth, breath
odor, receding gums, and loose teeth.
