Get laser periodontal treatment to solve periodontal disease quickly! Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection of the gums. This infection starts with plaque buildup and food particles left on the teeth by improper oral hygiene (brushing and flossing). While the disease may start as a relatively minor irritation, these infections can quickly become more serious deteriorating the gums and other supporting tissue around your teeth. Periodontal disease is also known to impact your overall general health, contributing to health risks such as heart disease, stroke, low birth-weight babies, cancer and is even linked to Alzheimer’s disease. For this reason, it is vitally important to prevent these infections. The best way to prevent gum disease is to schedule regular dental cleanings and examinations.
