Periodontal disease is a severe infection of the gum tissue. It is often painless. Diagnosis requires imaging and clinical examination. When gum disease advances, aggressive bacteria attack your teeth and gum tissue and may eventually destroy your facial bones. Periodontal disease is linked to debilitating conditions and ailments such as stroke, heart attack, cancer, and diabetes. Your best line of defense against gum disease is regular dental cleanings and checkups along with proper oral hygiene.
Dr. Ann Kania encourages all of her patients to protect their teeth from gum disease by visiting her office regularly for checkups and cleanings.
