Gum Disease: Care & Treatment

This book discusses the cause of gum disease and decay, as well as how to prevent it. It is super - current and has all the information currently being used in the most advanced dental and periodontal practices. It will help you navigate through the maze of clinical choices.

This book was written because of the tremendous need worldwide to prevent, arrest, and treat gum disease (periodontal disease). The consequences of non-treatment of chronic dental bone loss are severe. There has now been medical correlation of bacteria from the diseased gum space getting into the circulation and landing on the lining of coronary arteries, causing inflammation and contributing to the development of coronary heart disease. So, it is now critically important to stop gum disease and bone loss before it progresses, causing the above damage.

In addition, because periodontal disease and tooth loss often requires rebuilding parts or all of the mouth, I have included a great deal of information on implants and other methods of mouth reconstruction to further guide you.
