Dr. Randolph S. Moore Reminds Buford, GA Residents of the Link Between Periodontal and Heart Diseases, in Recognition of American Heart Month
Buford, GA (PRWEB) February 18, 2015 -- Dr. Randolph S. Moore is a general dentist in Buford, GA, and he takes seriously the evidence that periodontal disease is linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Dr. Moore urges patients with periodontal disease to take advantage of American Heart Month by getting treatment as soon as possible. After diagnosing periodontal disease, Dr. Moore may suggest laser gum surgery with the Sol Laser by DenMat. The minimally invasive procedure removes diseased tissue and initiates healing without the need for cutting or stitches.
Periodontal disease begins with a painless condition known as gingivitis. This is characterized by puffy, red gums that bleed easily. It is caused by plaque that forms along the gums and irritates them. Even at this early stage, periodontal disease may already have a negative impact on heart heath. Without proper attention, gingivitis turns into periodontitis. This stage of the disease occurs when plaque works its way between the gums and the teeth, causing gaps, or pockets, to form. Eventually bone loss develops and the teeth loosen until they must be extracted.
The bacteria that causes periodontal disease can travel to other important organs, such as the heart, through the bloodstream. For patients with gum disease, it is best to get care as early as possible to prevent the advancement of periodontitis and prevent the risk of heart damage. With laser gum surgery Dr. Moore is able to kill bacteria and remove diseased tissue, improving overall health.
