Your oral health is vital for your overall well-being. Gum disease, when left untreated, can lead to severe health issues, including life-threatening heart conditions. Bacterial infections like gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, which has been linked to endocarditis, an inflammation of the heart’s lining. This infection, originating in the mouth, can spread through the bloodstream, potentially leading to gum recession, bad breath, tooth sensitivity, and more.
The periodontal care team at Cramer Dental provides ongoing support to ensure your gums and smile stay healthy after gum disease treatment.
Regular Cleanings and Check-Ups
Regular dental cleanings, typically twice a year, are essential in preventing gum disease. During these visits, your dentist will conduct a thorough examination and provide professional cleanings to remove plaque and bacteria buildup that daily brushing can’t reach. Some people may feel they don’t need regular dental care, but bacteria can multiply undetected, making professional dental check-ups a vital part of oral health maintenance.
Why You Need Your Dentist to Prevent Gum Disease
Professional dental care is essential to prevent gum disease. Over time, if left unchecked, bacteria can create pockets between your teeth and gums, leading to infections that affect your entire body. While some may avoid dental visits due to costs, regular check-ups can save you from more extensive and costly dental treatments like dentures, implants, or gum restoration that may become necessary as gum disease progresses.
Preventing Costly Health Issues
Gum disease can be one of the most costly and common health problems, but it is also preventable. Maintaining healthy oral hygiene habits and visiting your dentist regularly are the simplest ways to prevent gum disease. The investment in two preventive cleanings per year is much more affordable compared to the cost of treating advanced gum disease, including restorative treatments like implants or dentures.
