Gum Disease Risk Factors - Protect your smile!

The main cause of periodontal (gum) disease is plaque. When plaque hardens it turns into calculus/tartar and if not properly removed it can cause tooth decay and/or periodontal disease. This is why it is important to visit your dentists/hygienist/periodontist regularly, every 3-6 months, for your dental cleaning and check up.

 Other factors that can affect the health of your gums are:
  • AGE
  • SMOKING / TOBACCO USE
  • GENETICS
  • STRESS
  • MEDICATIONS
  • CLENCHING OR GRINDING YOUR TEETH
  • OTHER SYSTEMIC DISEASES
  • POOR NUTRITION AND OBESITY
For more info on gum disease be sure to talk to one of our periodontal professionals.
