If you’re like most people, you probably don’t realize that most of the people in our country over the age of 35 has some form of periodontal disease. For those of you who are not familiar with periodontal disease, it’s caused by an infection of the gums and inflammation. If you don’t have a Las Vegas periodontal treatment soon, you could end up with bone loss around your tooth. The signs of periodontal disease can show up early in life, and they can progress and accumulate over the years until you see the definite signs when you approach the age of forty or fifty. It’s wise to call our Las Vegas dentist, Dr. Moore, at the first sign of a problem.
People who don’t take advantage of a Las Vegas periodontal treatment that’s available from one of the doctors at Moore Family Dental will see the infection begin to affect the jawbone that supports the infected teeth. As the periodontal disease progresses, you could end up with teeth that become loose or some teeth that even fall out. Of course, Dr. Moore suggests that you come in for dental checkups on a regular basis, every six months, for continual dental checkups throughout your life. That way he can watch for symptoms and take care of any periodontal problems before they cause big issues for you.
If you find that you have sore gums, bleeding gums when you brush or floss, and a continual bad taste in your mouth, you need to look for deep pockets filled with dental plaque. If you see any deep pockets, it’s really time to call Moore Family Dentistry for an appointment. You’ll probably need to get a Las Vegas periodontal treatment done as soon as possible. If you happen to have an aggressive form of periodontitis, you really need to take action fast. At that point it’s not a good idea to wait around to just see what happens next. This is especially important if you have aching teeth, swollen and bleeding gums, and teeth that are loosening. It’s really recommended that you call to make an appointment before you have such severe problems, so give a call to Dr. Moore’s local Las Vegas dental office a call right away at 702-791-1010 or 702-254-6700 for our Summerlin dental office. We look forward to helping you get and keep excellent oral health.
