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 our Myrtle Beach office regularly.
