Why Gum Health Matters for the Whole Body
Gum disease is a chronic infection. Studies have associated poor oral health with diabetes complications, heart disease and, in frail older adults, aspiration pneumonia — when bacteria from the mouth are inhaled into the lungs. Keeping the mouth clean is one of the simplest ways to support overall health.
How We Treat Gum Disease at Home
Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) removes tartar and bacteria from below the gumline. We may use local anesthetic for comfort and split treatment over more than one visit. Afterward, we recommend periodontal maintenance visits every three to four months to keep the infection under control.
