Periodontal treatment is necessary to control the oral infections that affect the health of your teeth, gums and most importantly your jawbones. It is the jawbone that holds your teeth securely in place. Retaining your teeth is directly dependent on proper periodontal care and maintenance.
A healthy looking smile is enhanced by the appearance of healthy gum tissues. When gum tissue becomes infected over a period of time, the gums can become red and swollen.
Left untreated, teeth will begin to move, rotate, loosen, develop spaces or even spontaneously fall out. Patients with periodontal disease often complain of bad breath. These changes not only affect your ability to comfortably chew and speak, they also spoil your smile and social acceptance. Schedule an appointment with Dr. John G. Albert, a periodontist in Liverpool, NY.
