Buffalo NY Dentist Discusses Periodontal Disease
In the following educational dental video, experienced Buffalo dentist Douglas Hamill DDS discusses the causes of periodontal disease.
Periodontitis is a gingival disease that affects both the gums and the bone. The condition starts out as gingivitis, which is largely limited to inflammation of the gums. This disease can progress, becoming periodontitis, and beginning to dissolve the bone around the roots of the teeth. That’s the number one cause of people losing their teeth and they end up with dentures. If you notice inflammation of the gums, turning red and swollen, you should let your dentist know right away.
