Do your teeth bleed when you brush? Does bad breath linger long after you’ve rinsed with mouthwash? Bad breath and bleeding gums are just a few of the symptoms of periodontal disease (also known as gum disease). The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that half of American adults over the age of 30 have periodontal disease.
At Palm View Dental, we take the treatment of periodontal disease very seriously. You see, it’s not just a problem that affects the health of your teeth and gums. What’s happening in your mouth is definitely linked to your overall health. Chronic gum disease can lead to problems like heart disease, respiratory disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications.
