Periodontal disease is one of the most common diseases in America, affecting nearly 65 million adults over age 30. But so few recognize the lasting impact that gum disease can have on your entire body. If you experience chronic toothaches and jaw aches, suffer from swollen, receding, or bleeding gums, or have a persistent unpleasant breath that you can’t quite get rid of, it is important for you to talk to a dentist to determine whether you have periodontal disease, and how you can stop or reverse its effects.
There are two types of periodontal disease – gingivitis and periodontitis. Each refers to an accumulation of bacteria along the gum line though one is more severe than the other.
