Gum Disease...Can Be Helped At Pacific Dental Group
The American Dental Association says that over 75-80% of all adults,
even in the Monterey Park, Los Angeles and Montebello area, have or will have some form of gum disease.Gum disease, or more correctly called "periodontal disease", is a bacterial infection in the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It can be divided into several categories.
The first stage is called "gingivitis" and is characterized by gum tissue that is red, puffy, and bleeds easily when touched with a toothbrush, floss or dental instrument.
The second, third, and fourth stages are initial, moderate, and
advanced "periodontal disease", respectively. These stages are different
from gingivitis because the infection has destroyed the bone supporting
the teeth, causing eventual tooth loss. At Pacific Dental Group the treatment is more involved
at these stages, usually consisting of a special cleaning with
anesthesia and sometimes gum surgery.
Please call Pacific Dental Group at (323) 725-6797 for a complete evaluation of your potential gum
disease.
