The Importance of Gum Health: Preventing Periodontal Disease
At Lifetime Dental & Implant Center, we believe in the power of preventative care. Maintaining healthy gums is not just about having a beautiful smile; it's crucial for your overall health. Periodontal disease, an infection affecting the tissues surrounding your teeth, can have serious consequences if left untreated. Research has linked it to various systemic health issues, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even Alzheimer's disease.
