September is National Gum Care Awareness Month. But taking care of your gums is all year around! And we are here to help you do that. Having healthy gums is so important to your overall health. It is not “just gums.” Any continuous inflammation in your gums spreads throughout the body. Medical Studies are proving that if you have periodontal disease, you have a higher risk for heart attacks, strokes, diabetic complications, pancreatic cancer and prostatitis.

Periodontal disease is inflammation of the gums and destruction of the bone holding the teeth. When the body reacts to fight the bacteria in the plaque, the body’s defensive “inflammatory response” chemicals cause the destruction of the gum and bone.

Pain is rarely present, so like high blood pressure, you may have periodontal disease and not even know it. It is very difficult for people to diagnose by themselves.

At Thompson Family Dentistry, we prioritize your overall health, not solely your dental well-being. When it comes to periodontal disease, our aim is to prevent its onset and assist patients who are affected through regular cleanings and effective at-home care. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential in managing periodontal disease effectively.

Gum disease is not curable, but it is manageable and preventable. So keep regular appointments to see the hygienist and Dr. Thompson.

Quick Tip: Floss with your eyes shut. If you can floss with your eyes shut at home then you can floss anywhere – the car, school, or even at the office.
