A GLOVES-ON

FOR MEN’S HEALTH

If you’ve been told you have gum disease and

need deep cleaning, laser treatment, surgery

or extractions, you may benefit from a visit

to a periodontist.

Periodontists are specialists in treating gum

disease, and they have a full understanding of

the foundation structures that support teeth

and implants.

They also know that straight, white teeth and

a nice smile don’t necessarily mean you have a

healthy mouth. Gum disease can begin to deterio-

rate your dental health before there are any visible

symptoms. If left untreated, gums may swell and

bleed, teeth can loosen or shift, and gum tissue

may be lost. These are not normal signs of aging.

If these symptoms are ignored or treatment is

delayed, gum disease can progress and may result

in tooth loss and unsightly aesthetics.

Gum disease is the most common inflamma-

tory disease in individuals today. It is also asso-

ciated with other medical conditions including

heart disease and diabetes.

When you are advised to get treatment for a

gum-disease issue, you need the kind of expertise

that a periodontist can provide.
