Defending Against Gum Disease at Resnick & Rosenfeld, DDS in Edison, NJ

Statistics show that approximately 80 percent of the American population suffers from some form of gum disease, an oral health condition that can lead to a variety of other health problems when left untreated. At our cutting-edge dental practice in Edison, NJ, Drs. Resnick and Rosenfeld protect patients from the unseen dangers of periodontal disease with microscopic monitoring and laser dentistry services.

The Importance of Early Intervention

When a patient’s gums are infected, whether there are symptoms or not, bacteria that reside beneath the gingival tissue can spread to other areas of the body via the bloodstream. If unchecked, this infection can lead to the following conditions:

• Coronary artery disease
• Pulmonary hypertension
• Increased risk of heart attack and stroke
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Gastrointestinal problems
• High blood pressure
• Alzheimer’s disease
