To consider your overall health means to consider your dental health. Gum disease is one of the most common diseases in the United States, affecting over 80% of the population in both its forms (periodontitis and gingivitis). It is important to establish essential dental hygiene practices for your family and spot the symptoms to prevent their advancement. Your family dentist in Lisle gives need-to-know facts and prevention techniques for gum disease.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since gum disease is often painless, it\u2019s sometimes hard to spot. If symptoms go on for too long, it can result in serious consequences ranging from tooth loss to health problems such as stroke and heart disease.<\/p>\n
Gum disease is when the foundation of your teeth, your gum and bone structures, are infected due to hardened plaque below your gum line. Imagine a house with a slowly deteriorating foundation, causing problems like cracks in the walls\u2014over time, the foundation will become too weak to hold the walls. When your gums become infected, your teeth lose their healthy foundation.<\/p>\n
