Diabetes & Periodontal Disease

Patients affected with Diabetes fall into one of the highest risk categories for the development of periodontal disease. The small blood vessels which supply the gingival and bone around teeth are often compromised in diabetes, particularly in uncontrolled diabetes. Learn more about Diabetes & Periodontal Disease.

Women's Health Issues

In women particularly due to hormone changes at different points of their life, periodontal infection may begin, arrest, restart and become more severe with time. The times of life are during puberty, with each pregnancy and following menopause. Learn more about Women's Health Issues.

Smoking Cessation

Current studies have now linked periodontal disease with tobacco usage. These cases may be even more severe than those of non-users of tobacco. There is a greater incidence of calculus formation on teeth, deeper pockets between gums & teeth as well as greater loss of the bone and fibers that hold teeth in your mouth.
