Periodontology

Losing our teeth can have many repercussions on our daily lives. It can affect our self-confidence and the way we interact with others. Eating becomes more difficult. What’s more, our teeth play an essential role in supporting our face, the appearance of our skin and even the appearance of our wrinkles.

Gum problems, also known as periodontal disease, are bacterial infections capable of destroying the tissues that surround and support the teeth.

Fortunately, this condition is easy to detect and treat in its early stages. Here’s what to look for:

Regular bleeding when you brush your teeth,
Redness and irritation of the gums,
Gum recession, which exposes roots and lengthens teeth (loosening)
Dental pain,
Dental travel,
Bad breath or bad taste,
Food that gets stuck between your teeth.

Periodontal disease can be controlled and stabilized. If you have any of these symptoms, make an appointment for a treatment designed to stop the process and keep your teeth healthy for the long term.
