For Better Oral and Overall Well-being

Your oral health influences your overall health and wellbeing. As a result, changes in your oral health can affect your total wellbeing in other ways as well. In particular, a common oral health condition like periodontal disease can have a significant impact. That’s why our dentists at Peel Dental Care offer periodontal therapy. With periodontal therapy, our dentists can help patients overcome the symptoms of periodontal disease in order to enjoy good health and wellbeing again.

Symptoms of Periodontal Disease

Not every case of periodontal disease begins with noticeable symptoms. But for those that do, some of the most common include sensitive or irritated gums, redness, bleeding, frequent bad breath, and a receding gum line. In more advanced cases, patients may notice pockets between their teeth and gums, and possibly even one or more loose teeth. If left untreated, you may end up losing teeth or experiencing other serious oral health complications.

Protect Your Health with Regular Checkups

Because periodontal disease can begin with no discernible symptoms, we recommend visiting Peel Dental Care at least twice a year for checkups. During your appointment, our team will assess the health of your gums and talk to you about any symptoms we may have noticed.

Treating periodontal disease as early as possible is important for preserving not just your oral health but also your overall health. Medical studies have linked periodontal disease to a range of health problems in the rest of the body, including:

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Pneumonia
• Diabetes
• Pre-term birth and low birth weight
