Dr. Frank W. Sallustio Educates Patients on Dental Implant Options for those Missing Teeth Due to Gum Disease, in Recognition of Gum Disease Awareness Month
Sun City West, AZ (PRWEB) February 12, 2015 -- In honor of Gum Disease Awareness Month this February, prosthodontist Dr. Frank W. Sallustio educates patients on gum disease in Sun City West, AZ. Nearly three out of four American adults are affect by gum disease, which is a dangerous oral condition and the most common cause of tooth loss. Caused by a buildup of bacteria along the gum line, gum disease can rapidly proceed to cause severe damage if left alone. Dr. Sallustio explains his recommended course of action for those who have lost teeth due to advanced periodontal disease or injury: dental implants and All-on-4™ implants.
Unlike dentures that slip, slide, click, and restrict the diet to soft foods, All-on-4™ dental implants sit solidly on four small titanium posts situated in areas of maximum bone density in the jaw. Titanium bonds naturally with the body in a process called osseo-integration. Like roots of natural teeth, the dental implants provide stimulation to the jawbone with biting and chewing to help keep mouth strong and healthy. The replacement teeth mounted on the implant posts look and feel natural, and permit a full diet.
Dr. Sallustio recommends regular dental visits to check for signs of gum disease in Sun City West, along with good home care. Those who avoid the dentist and neglect daily brushing and flossing allow the bacteria to congregate, creating tartar and gingivitis. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis where pockets in the gum tissue harbor greater amounts of bacteria. The condition is very serious at that point and requires urgent professional treatment to restore gum health, protect the teeth and prevent tooth loss.
