periodontics
Every smile is beautiful in its own way, and healthy gums play a significant role in keeping it that way. Dr. Joshua Badall of Breez Dental offers periodontal care, which is essential for maintaining healthy gums and preventing issues like gum disease. Taking a proactive approach to gum health can make a significant difference in your overall oral well-being.
Although gum disease is largely preventable, 40% of adults in the U.S. have some level of periodontal disease–and it becomes more common with age. While gingivitis is reversible with intervention, other progressive stages of gum disease are not.
1.
When our dentists examine your mouth, they check for symptoms such as swollen or bleeding gums, deep gum pockets, and any signs of bone loss around the teeth.

Reevaluation after gum disease treatment is crucial to ensure adequate healing and prevent progression by confirming that inflammation has been reduced and that oral health is improving.

Gum disease itself is not contagious, but the bacteria that cause it can be spread through saliva. Sharing utensils and toothbrushes or kissing someone with gum disease can potentially transfer these bacteria to another person.
Oral cancer and gum disease are not directly related, though both can result from poor oral hygiene and smoking. However, having gum disease does not increase the risk of developing oral cancer.
Dairy products themselves do not cause gum disease; however, they are beneficial to oral health. Rich in calcium and vitamin D, dairy products help strengthen teeth and bones, potentially reducing the risk of gum disease by maintaining healthy oral tissues.
