Dr. Patrick Cieplak Educates Community on Signs of Gingivitis in La Plata, MD, During National Gum Care Month
La Plata, MD (PRWEB) September 20, 2017 -- In support of National Gum Care Month, Dr. Patrick Cieplak raises awareness of the importance of receiving prompt gum disease treatment and invites those with bleeding gums to receive periodontal treatment. Dr. Cieplak urges his community to become aware of the common periodontal disease symptoms and stages, including gingivitis and periodontitis. Patients with gingivitis in La Plata, MD, can receive qualified treatment before their symptoms progress and lead to periodontitis.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that nearly half of adults in the United States have periodontal disease. The earliest stage of the disease is gingivitis, and it is important for patients who suspect they may have gingivitis in La Plata, MD, to treat their symptoms before they worsen. Gingivitis is curable in many instances, but more advanced stages of gum disease are not and require routine periodontal maintenance. Gingivitis is marked by inflammation of the gum tissue, which can lead to bleeding gums and increased tooth sensitivity. The second stage of gum disease is periodontitis, which involves swelling of the gum tissue as well as gum recession. At this stage, periodontitis is not curable, but its symptoms can be treated and managed.
The final stage of gum disease is advanced periodontitis. Advanced periodontitis can cause the teeth to loosen or fall out due to degradation of the bone and gums that support them. Patients with receding gum tissue, increased tooth sensitivity, chronic bad breath and bleeding or swollen gums are urged to receive a consultation immediately to find out if they have gum disease.
Patients with bleeding gums, or other signs of gingivitis in La Plata, MD, are encouraged to schedule an appointment with Dr. Cieplak during or after National Gum Care Month. Dr. Cieplak has served his community with leading dental care for over 30 years. He offers a variety of preventative treatment options to help patients avoid developing the disease, as well as effective treatments for those who already have it. Appointments can be reserved by calling Cieplak Dental Excellence at 301-609-9999.
