Millions of Americans, primarily adults, suffer from periodontal disease (gum disease). While gum disease is easily treatable and reversible when caught in the early stages, most people do not recognize the signs of the disease. As a result, the condition often goes undiagnosed and untreated until after it has reached the later stages. Once the later stages of the condition are reached, serious and irreversible damage has often occurred. The key to catching the infection while in the early stages involves regular appointments to your dentist and learning to spot the symptoms of gum disease while at home.
