Gum disease is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults over 35. Have you noticed that swollen gums? When you brush your teeth do you often have bleeding gums?
These symptoms may mean that you have gingivitis or periodontal disease. As a periodontist, La Jolla gingivitis dentist Dr. Gary Sigafoos is your resource in for identifying and treating this problem, safely and easily.
Left untreated, gum disease can progress to periodontitis, a serious threat to your oral health that can result in teeth and bone loss. But it affects more than your mouth; it can be dangerous to your overall health. Recent studies have linked advanced gum disease to heart disease, stroke, and pregnancy complications.
The professionals at LaJolla Periodontics use proven techniques to gently remove infected gum tissue and the bacteria causing the infection, returning your mouth to its healthy, normal state.
