ORAL CARE & PERIODONTITIS
IT MAY PUT MORE THAN YOUR TEETH AND GUMS AT RISK
Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that can occur if gingivitis is allowed to progress. Medical science has shown that periodontitis weakens your teeth's support system, which, in turn, can cause tooth loss.
In addition, emerging science suggests that periodontitis may be associated with diabetes, heart disease, and numerous other health issues.
When you have periodontitis, it requires ongoing professional care. Therefore, prevention is key. Adopt a good oral care routine and see your dentist regularly.
