What Happens If Gingivitis Goes Untreated?
It may seem obvious to recommend that you avoid problems with your health. Unfortunately, people sometimes let problems with their smile remain untreated because they overlook worrying symptoms, and because they are not consistent about dental exams. When you have a problem with gingivitis, leaving it unaddressed can lead to complications as the infection worsens over time. The more you put off a trip to the dentist’s office, the more likely it is that your condition will become more serious, which means it becomes harder to manage and more likely to cause serious issues, including tooth loss! Our Bellaire, TX dental practice is prepared to help. In addition to helping with gingivitis, you can meet with a periodontal specialist on-site to discuss care for a more serious infection. (more…)
