THE SCARY STATISTICS

Gum disease is no small problem. A recent study by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention found that nearly half of adults in America suffer with some form of periodontal disease and those numbers jump from nearly 50 percent to 70 percent in adults over age 65. Gum disease is a chronic and progressive inflammatory disease that can lead to tooth and bone loss. The infection in your gums can travel through your bloodstream and infect other areas of your body. Gum disease has been shown to increase your risk for heart disease, stroke and some forms of cancer. It is vital to seek periodontal treatment immediately if you have been diagnosed with gum disease.
