Periodontics in New York and New Jersey
Gum Disease & Overall Health
Periodontal or gum disease (sometimes referred to as gingivitis) is one of the leading causes of tooth loss among U.S adults. Nearly half the population experiences some form in their lives, and it can slowly destroy the gums and surrounding tissue supporting the teeth; which play a critical role in the function and aesthetics of both your oral and overall health.
Inflammation and the bacteria associated with periodontal disease have been demonstrated to have a relationship with the prevalence and severity of many systemic diseases such as:diabetes, cancer, stroke, heart disease, and more.

Common Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
The causes of gum disease oftentimes go unnoticed because patients generally don’t even know they have it. This interferes with early prevention and may cause warning signs such as:
- Bleeding or receding gums
- Consistent bad breath
- Visible plaque build-up
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Loose teeth
The common cause of periodontal disease is the accumulation of dental plaque when if not removed will lead to inflammation of the gum (gingivitis) and the loss of supporting tissues (bone) of the teeth. Other causes include:
- Genetics
- Certain Medications
- Pregnancy
- Trauma from Occlusion
