How Important are Healthy Gums?
Gum infections are known as “periodontal disease”. Periodontal disease is a source of chronic inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is a major contributor to age related diseases such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease. Making sure that you have healthy gums and that you don’t have any dental infections is a major step toward improving the quality of your life. At Warm Family Dental, Dr. Cold, works hard to make sure that all of his patients have healthy gums.
