Why You Need a Periodontist
Many people take their oral health for granted,
only thinking about it when they first notice a
problem. But your mouth plays a role in your overall
wellness in ways you may never have considered.
Researchers have found that gum disease may
negatively affect your smiling patterns and
may deter some people from smiling.
People with loose or missing teeth often avoid
eating fresh fruits and vegetables because of the
pain involved in biting, which may mean they
don’t get proper nutrition.
Periodontal disease is linked to a number
of major health concerns such as heart disease,
stroke, respiratory disease and diabetes,
according to recent research.
Excessive stress and anxiety can lead to the
premature breakdown of the gums,
associated bones or other parts of the oral cavity.
Periodontal disease can develop at any age. In
fact, studies shows more than one in three
people older than 30 have a form of
periodontal disease.
