Health Implications of Deep Dental Pockets
While tooth loss is typically the biggest concern associated with periodontal pockets, the infection poses a significant risk to your overall health. Active gum disease drastically increases the risk and severity of systemic health conditions like:
Heart attack
Stroke
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Infertility
Erectile dysfunction
Preeclampsia
Pneumonia
Respiratory illness
…and possibly Alzheimer’s Disease.
Seeing a dentist for periodontal treatment isn’t just important for your smile, it’s vital to your health.
Non-surgical periodontal therapy is the removal of plaque and calculus from above and below the gum line. It may also include oral medications and rinses to kill bacteria and aid in gum and bone healing.
