Periodontal Treatment

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a significant contributor to oral infections. It is one of the leading causes of infections affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Gum disease is typically a result of bacterial growth and inflammation in the gums, and if left untreated, it can lead to serious systemic  complications.

There is a enough research to show a strong link between periodontal disease and respiratory disease including lung infections. (Source here.)

Maintaining good oral hygiene, including regular dental check-ups, brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, is essential not only for oral health but also for overall well-being.

It's particularly important for individuals with respiratory conditions or compromised immune systems to pay attention to their oral health.
