Periodontist near Minneapolis, MN
Periodontitis causes the destruction of tissue that supports your teeth and, if untreated, can lead to tooth loss. Healthy gums are pink and firm; if your gums are red or purple, tender, bleeding or swollen you may have a periodontal condition. Periodontal disease is a serious condition that has been linked to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Keeping periodontal disease under control with treatment can lower your risk of adverse effects. Practicing good oral hygiene is the easiest and best way to prevent a periodontal condition. It’s also important to see your dentist every six months to ensure your gums are healthy.
If you are concerned about gum disease or other conditions, contact your Park Dental dentist today.
