Periodontal Disease Queens, NY
Most cases of adult tooth loss (about three out of every four) are due to periodontal disease. A large majority of children and teens already have some form of gingivitis (the name given to periodontal disease in its early stages) as well. For this reason, we feel it is imperative to build a foundation of good periodontal health early and maintain it throughout a patient’s lifetime.
Periodontal Disease Causes
Plaque is the primary cause of periodontal disease, but lifestyle factors and health problems can also increase a person’s risk. We have a periodontist on staff who will be able to determine if any gum treatment is necessary. The periodontist also performs dental implant procedures in the office.
Periodontal Disease Symptoms
- Bleeding Gums
- Gum discomfort
