Charlotte's First Choice for Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is one of the most dangerous, yet sometimes hard to detect, dental issues facing dental patients in Charlotte. Bad breath can be masked with mouthwash and mints. Crooked teeth can be fixed with braces. Missing teeth can be disguised with dentures. But these are all solutions to problems that could have been dealt with earlier if the dangers of gum disease were better known. But to know the dangers, the warning signs and risks of gum disease must be fully understood.
Dr. Pappert will tell you that there two types of gum disease. The first, which is reversible, is gingivitis. With gingivitis, the gums are the only thing affected. This is what causes the first major symptom of gum disease - bad breath. However, left untreated, gingivitis can lead to more serious problems.
Some of the factors that increase the risk of developing gum disease include tobacco use, diabetes, some medications, ill-fitting bridges, crooked teeth, bad fillings and pregnancy. This list, of course, is not all inclusive. At Steiner, Pappert and Linger we know that avoiding these risks could be paramount in the prevention of gum disease.
So what are you waiting for? For an initial gum disease consultation, call Dr. Lori Pappert at Steiner, Pappert and Linger.
There are also risk factors that are not so much under your control: diabetes, some necessary medications for other health issues and crooked teeth can also lead to periodontal disease. That is where regular visits to the Charlotte office of Dr. Pappert can take up the slack. At the very least, twice-yearly visits to the dentist should be on your schedule. But if you suffer from any of the risk factors, whether the factors are under your control or not, you might want to step up your visits to your dentist. Dr. Pappert would be happy to be that dentist.
