It\u2019s a quickly developing infection that can cause\nserious permanent damage down the road, but the mouth isn\u2019t the only part of\nyour body that it impacts. According to several studies, gum disease in Parma\nHeights can also cause high blood pressure when it\u2019s left untreated. Read on\nbelow to learn how to spot the signs and what the research says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Signs of Gum Disease?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gum disease becomes a dangerous condition when it\u2019s not\ndiagnosed and left to progress, causing more advanced and permanent damage to\nyour mouth down the road. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to visit your dentist every\nsix months for a routine checkup and cleaning. This appointment will allow your\nprofessional to spot the signs early, so they can diagnose and treat the issue\nas soon as possible, reducing your risk of developing any additional problems\ndown the line. Here are some signs that they look out for during your examinations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums.<\/li><li>Chronic bad breath.<\/li><li>Receding gums that make teeth look longer.<\/li><li>Small pockets of bacteria and plaque built-up\nbetween the teeth and gums.<\/li><li>Loose or shifting teeth.<\/li><li>Permanent tooth loss.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Connection Between Gum Disease &amp; High Blood Pressure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A study conducted in the United States looked at nearly\n12,000 U.S. adults\u2019 healthy surveys that completed dental exams between the\nyears 2009 and 2014. The goal was to gain a deeper understanding of why about\none in three adults is living with high blood pressure, and only half are\ntreating and controlling their condition. What they found was that participants\nwith gum disease had about 2.3-3mmHg higher systolic blood pressure than\npatients with completely healthy gums. They also found that the more advanced\nthe gum disease was, the higher likelihood that blood pressure treatment would\nfail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can You Treat Gum Disease?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to ensuring your overall health and safety is to visit\nyour dentist every six months to catch gum disease signs&nbsp; while they\u2019re less serious. That way, they\ncan develop a customized gum disease treatment plan, including a deep cleaning,\nantibiotic therapy, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestclevelandsmiles.com\/laser-gum-disease-therapy.html\">laser\ntherapy<\/a>. These will reduce the symptoms and, if caught early enough, completely\nreverse the effects the disease has on your mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being vigilant about your oral health means that you\u2019re also\nbeing mindful of your physical health as well. Both gum disease and high blood\npressure are serious conditions among many adults, but with regular care and\nearly treatment, you can preserve your smile and overall wellbeing, allowing\nyou to live every day worry-free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Caroline Salib has been practicing dentistry for years\nand is passionate about putting her patients\u2019 comfort and health first.
