If you continue to smoke or use smokeless tobacco, you will make yourself more likely to develop problems with periodontal disease. Smoking can make a person more likely to develop a periodontal infection, just as it can create problems with teeth stains and interfere with your physical health. If you continue to develop issues with gingivitis, dropping this habit can make your oral hygiene routine more effective.
Good oral hygiene should protect your teeth and gums from the various problems to which they are vulnerable. One mistake people often make is assuming that they can fully protect their smile by brushing alone. Flossing actually plays an important role in protecting your smile by clearing away bacteria between teeth, including those microbes that gather at the base of the teeth and create problems with infection.
Before your periodontal problems are serious enough to require advanced care, they can be identified by a general dentist. Through scheduled preventive care, patients are kept safe from complications with their periodontal health that can require more involved work, including work with lasers to address gum disease. If your dentist has observed problems with your gums that are serious enough to require a second opinion, we can provide an evaluation and determine what can be done to properly resolve your troubles.
