Four out of five people have periodontal disease
and most of them don’t know it. That is why it is so important
to know the symptoms.
- Aching or itching gums or jaw
- Bleeding or red and puffy gums
- Bad breath
- Receding gums or loosening teeth
- Spaces appearing between teeth
- Or No Symptoms at All!
To prevent periodontal disease, you and
Dr. Markusen must work together. You must brush and floss your
teeth every day, following
the instructions
of Dr. Markusen or your hygienist. Also recommended are extra measures,
such as Gel-Kam
or the Rota-Dent. Dr. Markusen can examine your teeth for signs of
periodontal disease and take x-rays for detection of bone destruction in
the early
stages. Don’t wait until it is too late. Visit your our office
regularly.
