Periodontal Disease

Red or puffy gums, bad breath, gums that bleed while brushing or flossing, and loose teeth resulting from bone loss are all symptoms of a condition known as periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection in the gum tissue which can have many detrimental affects on your overall health, a fact which many people forget.

The American Dental Academy and the American Heart Association have determined that periodontal disease is linked to other health issues, including heart disease, respiratory disease, and diabetes. Dr. Roberts can help you avoid or treat periodontal disease.
