Healthy Gums, Healthy Body: Periodontal Care in Louisville

Oral cancer is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that, when left unchecked, can lead to many health problems. Delaying the treatment can have severe consequences, impacting not only your oral health but your overall health as well. It can manifest in various forms, and its symptoms may go unnoticed in the early stages. This makes routine oral cancer screenings all the more essential.

Understanding Gum Disease and Its Impacts

Gum disease, often undetected in its early stages because it rarely causes pain, can significantly affect one’s overall health. Its causes range from poor oral hygiene to genetic susceptibility. Early symptoms include bleeding gums during brushing or flossing and persistent bad breath. Over time, without treatments such as dental scaling and root planing, it can lead to tooth loss.
