Second Only to the Common Cold!
Dental diseases (cavities and gum disease) are the most common diseases affecting people besides the common cold! With the addition of fluoride to our water and toothpaste, dental decay has almost become a problem of the past. But, it took the addition of fluoride to win that battle. Brushing and flossing alone did not work. The same is true with periodontal disease. Brushing and flossing may not be enough.
You're not alone! 75% of the population has some form of periodontal disease, but the majority do not realize it.
Toothbrushing cleans the smooth surfaces of the teeth and is an excellent way to prevent cavities. Gum disease starts in between the teeth. Regular toothbrushes can't reach these critical areas and most people don't or can't floss effectively.
Gingivitis is a bacterial infection of the gums that's reversible. However, periodontal disease is gum and bone disease. The infection has spread from the gum into the bone and permanent damage has occurred. There are several stages of this disease. If detected early it can be controlled.
