Many people are surprised to learn that gum disease is just as much of a serious dental problem as decay is. In fact, more than 60% of American adults are estimated to already be suffering from some degree of gum disease and this number seems continue to rise over the coming decade. Although gum disease doesn’t tend to cause discomfort until it has progressed significantly, it can have serious consequences for your teeth and health. Affected gums can recede, pulling away from the teeth and putting them at risk of falling out. Severe gum disease, known as periodontitis, has also been shown to be associated with the development of major chronic health problems including high blood pressure, heart disease and even cancer. If you want to enjoy a great smile and excellent health for as long as possible, gum care should be an immediate priority.
