Periodontal Procedures
It is estimated that periodontal disease affects more than 75% of the adult population, this disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. The presence of periodontal (gum) disease affects all systems of the body.
Gum disease increases the risk of heart disease as it is believed that bacteria in the mouth enter the blood stream through inflamed gums and cause small blood clots that contribute to clogged arteries or infections at a distant site like susceptible heart valves or prosthetic joints. Diabetics with gum disease are at greater risk of diabetic complications, and pregnancy may also be affected by gum disease.
