There are a lot of people scattered throughout the country who suffer from gum disease (Periodontitis, as it\u2019s known in the dental industry). It\u2019s a debilitating disease that can cause pain and discomfort in not only your mouth, but throughout your body. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prestonbenddental.com\/contact-us.html\">Plano, TX<\/a> office specializes in offering gum disease therapy for all patients that are suffering from this terrible disease. It\u2019s so widespread that 80% of the population has some form of gum disease. This isn\u2019t a good number. Gum disease is preventable if you seek the right treatment and don\u2019t waste time taking care of the problem. Regular checkups can catch gum disease in its infancy, but only if you\u2019re open to receiving treatment. Fight back against gum disease with our dentist, Dr. Anita Madhav, and start living in comfort once again.\n<!--more-->\n<h3>How Does Gum Disease Begin?<\/h3>\nGum disease isn\u2019t brought about by just one thing. There are several factors that are responsible for allowing periodontal disease to make its presence known and they\u2019re looked over as possible factors by many people:\n<ul>\n\t<li>Changes in hormones<\/li>\n\t<li>Illnesses<\/li>\n\t<li>Medications<\/li>\n\t<li>Tobacco habits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What Are The Tell-Tale Signs of Gum Disease?<\/h3>\nThere are ways to combat gum disease, and the signs are usually able to spot. Other signs may not be so visible, so receiving a dental check-up twice a year is imperative. We want your mouth to stay as healthy as possible and this is one way to ensure that it stays that way. Being proactive is the first step. Keep an eye out for any of these symptoms:\n<ul>\n\t<li>Gums that bleed during and after you\u2019re done brushing teeth<\/li>\n\t<li>Swollen gums<\/li>\n\t<li>Red gums<\/li>\n\t<li>Halitosis (bad breath)<\/li>\n\t<li>Unfortunate taste in the mouth<\/li>\n\t<li>Receding gum line<\/li>\n\t<li>Deep pockets that have formed between the teeth and gums<\/li>\n\t<li>Loose teeth<\/li>\n\t<li>Teeth that shift<\/li>\n\t<li>Changes in your bite<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAny one of these could be signs that you have periodontal disease. The only way to know for sure is to speak with our staff and to receive proper treatment.\n<h3>Schedule an Appointment Today<\/h3>\nPeriodontal disease is nothing to put off treating. We want to see you immediately so we can treat it quickly and with the gentlest care possible. You can count on our team to provide a comfortable and supportive atmosphere before and after treatment. We\u2019re happy to serve the surrounding cities of Allen, McKinney, Dallas, Richardson, Irving and beyond.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gum disease is nothing to laugh about.
