Gum Disease Treatment

Problems Caused by Periodontal Disease

periodontal disease Bozeman dentist Belgrade MTGum disease, or periodontal disease, can cause serious oral problems like tooth loss, and receding gums. It can also cause chronic bad breath and lower self confidence, and has been linked to serious health problems like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis, and respiratory disease.

Gum disease is a serious disease that afflicts more than eighty percent of Americans, but the symptoms can sometimes be so mild that patients don’t even realize that they have it until the problem becomes severe.

If you are experiencing the following, it could be a sign that you require periodontal disease treatment:

  • Red, swollen gums that are tender and bleed easily
  • Gums that feel and look like they are receding from your teeth
  • Chronic bad breath
  • A bad taste in your mouth
  • Permanent teeth that feel loose or like they are separating
  • Pus between your teeth and gumlines

The earlier gum disease is detected, the easier it is to treat. At each check up in Bozeman, Dr. McCormick and his staff will check your mouth thoroughly for signs of gum disease.
