According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a> (CDC), 47.2% of adults aged 30 years and older have some form of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease, the more serious form of gum disease, results from infections and inflammation of the gums and bones surrounding the teeth. Though periodontal disease is more common in men than women, it is a risk for everyone and remains one of the greatest threats to your dental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we think about our oral health, we often think about our teeth and stop at that. But our oral health includes our gums as well. If you have shown signs of gum disease<\/a>, you may need more than a trip to your dentist every six months for a dental cleaning and oral evaluation. A visit to a periodontist for an annual comprehensive periodontal evaluation may be in order to assess your risk of periodontal disease and determine whether treatment for periodontal disease is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During your evaluation, the following six areas will be assessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After these areas have been assessed, your dentist or periodontist will review the findings with you and discuss any necessary treatment. At this time, you will be encouraged to ask questions to ensure you understand what was discovered and to make sure you are on board with the recommended next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAn annual comprehensive periodontal evaluation can keep gum disease at bay. <\/h1>\n\n\n\n
