Periodontal bacteria cause problems with your health that should not be disregarded or ignored. In time, an infection can make it difficult for you to prevent tooth loss, as worsening damage to the tissues that support teeth will occur. These bacteria can also cause issues in other areas of your body over time, making an infection a threat to your general health. At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, we can recommend different solutions when patients present problems with gum disease. If we catch the problem in time, preventive care can keep you safe from complications. That being said, we are here to help when patients have more advanced problems. We can use laser treatment and other procedures to take on potentially severe infections. (more…)
