What is the main problem affecting our community dentally speaking?
Periodontal disease is the main problem affecting our community. Periodontal Gum disease is the bone loss and possible infection of the structure around your teeth. All of us Asians: Indian, Pakistani, Chinese, Filipino people eat mainly rice and we overcook our vegetables. Most of these foods are almost paste-like. It is so much easier for foods of this nature to cling to teeth. If this food is not removed with a tooth brush at least twice a day, it hardens and becomes calculus. The calculus then serves as a constant thorn poking at the gum tissue and over a period of time leads to bone loss. Over the years we basically have good teeth but very poor foundations and eventually the good teeth fall out by themselves without proper support. So if you have red swollen gums, gums that bleed easily or persistent bad taste or bad breath or loose teeth, please call us for a free consultation, so that we can help you solve the problem before it gets out of hand.
