Do you have bleeding gums or chronic bad breath? Do you find blood on
your pillow in the morning? If you have answered “yes” to any of these
questions you may have gum disease.
Periodontal
(gum) disease is rampant. It is estimated that 80% of the adult
population over the age of 40, have it. Most people aren’t even aware
that they have it since it is fairly painless with minimal symptoms. If
left untreated, the obvious sequelae include painful abscesses, loose
teeth, and finally tooth loss. The less obvious sequelae is chronic
inflammation in the body, heart attack and strokes.
