Gum Disease Chelmsford MAPeriodontal or gum disease is an infection of the gums that attacks the soft tissue around the gums. Crosspoint Family Dental offers gum disease screening and treatment in our Chelmsford, MA area office.

Plaque is the most common element causing gum disease. Usually, problems are often discovered after they have persisted for an extended period of time. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups help minimize the risk of gum disease.

Commons Problems with Gum Disease – Chelmsford, MA

The effects of gum disease can be damaging to your dental health. Through proper preventative care and oral hygiene, you can avoid problems associated with gum disease. Symptoms of gum disease include:

  • Gums that bleed easily
  • Red, swollen, tender gums
  • Receding gums
  • Persistent bad breath or bad taste
  • Loose or separation of permanent teeth
  • Pus between teeth and gums

You don’t have to lose teeth to periodontal disease and by practicing good oral hygiene, you can significantly reduce your changes of ever getting gum disease. Infections in the mouth can wreak havoc elsewhere in your body. Evidence suggests that people with periodontal disease are at a higher risk for developing heart disease, stroke, uncontrolled diabetes, preterm births and respiratory disease.

I am a new customer to the dental practice but am very pleased with the level of care that I have a received so far. My hygienist, Stephanie, was very thorough (and gentile) during the cleaning/exam and went above and beyond to assist me with my insurance coverage. 5/5 would recommend to anyone in search of a new dentist!

I have been going to this practice close to 20 years. There was a different doctor before however even the new team is great. No complains over any of their treatments or recommendations.
