Gum and Bone Disease: The Silent Tooth Killer
One of the most pressing health issues we face today is gum and bone
disease. For adults it is the major cause of tooth loss.
In 1998, an explosion of new medical research linked gum disease to
other diseases in our body. It was revealed that gum infections may contribute
to the development of strokes and heart disease; increase the risk of
premature, underweight babies; and pose a serious threat to people whose
health is already compromised by diabetes and respiratory disease.
Gum and Bone Disease: What Is It and What Causes It?
Gum disease is a transmissible, bacterial infection that can destroy
the attachment fibers and supporting bone that hold your teeth in
your mouth. Gum disease is a complex disorder involving the interaction
between specific types of bacteria and the immune response of the
person
infected.
Dr. Lee: A Successful Commander in the War Against Gum and Bone Disease
Dr. Lee has trained thousands of dentists from all over America, Canada,
and Australia in the treatment of periodontal (gum) disease. His research
in the area of periodontal disease and presentation of soft-tissue
management seminars led to the establishment of McHenry Laboratories
which manufactures and distributes an antibacterial product developed
by Dr. Lee. This product, ORA5, is now commonly used to prevent infection
before and after dental surgeries, in the treatment of gum disease,
and for relief of soreness caused by new dentures, canker sores, or
mouth ulcers.
Gum Disease: To Fight This Enemy, You’re Going to Need Some Reinforcements
Determining whether gum disease is already present or on the way requires
an evaluation by a trained professional. Often, by the time you may
notice the symptoms, gum disease may have advanced and require more
serious treatment. So don’t take any chances, let us perform
routine checkups so we can accurately monitor your gums and teeth for
signs of this Silent Tooth Killer.
