Periodontal disease is a nasty one that can threaten the life of your teeth in central Leeds and destroy the surrounding gum and bone that supports them- it really is very destructive and it all starts with gum disease. This will cause the gums to swell, weep and the recede badly; you may also notice the gums bleeding and the teeth becoming sensitive and loose. As this happens the bone below the teeth can become diseased and now you are in a world of hurt that will take some heavy work and money to put right. But you should also look at your lifestyle, because there are a number of things that can kick-start all of this. The most obvious one is a lack of decent oral hygiene, but also if you smoke, have diabetes, suffer from stress or are on heavy medication, all of these will add to the problem- and herein lies the first way to tackle the issue- you have to change your ways completely: you must improve your oral hygiene as well. There is medication you can take to help treat the disease, but if it is bad, it may require surgery which could involve bone and tissue grafts.
