Periodontal disease is also linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, low birth weight babies, and we now know the bacterial infection gets from the mouth into the bloodstream, creating an overall septic situation in the body.
Working with patients to identify early signs of periodontal disease is very important because up to 75% of adults over 45 years old have some local form of this disease in their mouth. A simple screening of the gums can help diagnose the disease so early intervention can be achieved.
At Synergy Dental we use lasers dental varnishes and medicaments to help stop the progression of periodontal disease.
