Periodontal Disease
Report
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Periodontal diseases include gingivitis and periodontitis. Early and moderate periodontal disease may exhibit few, if any, symptoms.
However, warning signs of advanced periodontal disease may include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, permanent teeth that are loose or separating, or changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite.The word periodontal literally means "around the tooth." Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that attacks the gums and bone supporting the teeth.

Oral-Systemic Connection
Report
Sometimes the only way to detect periodontal disease is through a periodontal evaluation.
If you value your oral health as well as your overall health, a periodontal evaluation is a good idea-especially if you notice any symptoms of periodontal disease; have heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease or osteoporosis; are thinking of becoming pregnant; have a family member with periodontal disease; or have a sore or irritation in your mouth that does not get better within two weeks.

Diabetes
Report
For years we've known that people with diabetes are more likely to have periodontal disease than people without diabetes. Recently, research has emerged suggesting that the relationship goes both ways - periodontal disease may make it more difficult for people who have diabetes to control their blood sugar.
Pregnancy
Report
Pregnant women who have periodontal disease may be seven times more likely to have a baby that is born too early and too small. Periodontal disease is an infection and all infections are cause for concern during pregnancy because they pose a risk to the health of the baby. If you are thinking about becoming pregnant, be sure to include an evaluation with a periodontist as part of your prenatal care.
