Periodontal gum disease is silent and deadly

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, and dental x-rays to assess for bone loss. At Family Dental Group effective prevention and treatment is available, but the damage caused as the disease progresses can be irreversible.

Some signs of periodontal disease are: bleeding gums, redness of gum tissue, swelling of gums around the teeth, breath odor, receding gums, mobility of teeth.

Call our office at (203) DEN-TIST to schedule an exam for periodontal disease today. We have a Periodontist on staff to help give you the best of care conveniently and comfortably.
