BEVERLY HILLS, CA, April 16, 2013 (Press-News.org) Dr. Markzar, Beverly Hills periodontist, seeks to inform individuals that periodontal disease has been linked to certain types of cancer. When patients think of periodontal disease, they tend to focus on the immediate effects, such as red and swollen gums and possible tooth loss. However, the effects of gum disease may extend beyond the oral cavity.
Periodontal disease is a serious condition that affects millions of Americans and causes tooth loss, bone and gum tissue deterioration. This condition develops when the harmful bacteria in the mouth combine with food particles and white blood cells to form a sticky film called plaque. Plaque can be easily removed by brushing and flossing thoroughly and regularly. However, if left in place, the plaque will develop into tartar. Tartar is a hard yellow film that can only be removed by a dental professional. The bacteria in plaque and tartar cause the inflammation of the gum tissue that is characteristic of periodontal disease.
If periodontal disease is not treated by a dental professional, it will cause dental and health problems. First, gum disease causes the gum tissue and connective tissue to erode. This erosion causes the teeth to loosen and eventually fall out. However, periodontal disease has also been linked to certain cancers. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, patients with gum disease are 49 percent more likely to develop kidney cancer, 54 percent more likely to develop pancreatic cancer, and 30 percent more likely to develop blood cancers. In addition to cancer, periodontal disease has been linked to respiratory disease and other serious health conditions.
Dr. Markzar, Los Angeles dental implants dentist, has treated thousands of patients with periodontal disease. In the early stages, Dr. Markzar, Los Angeles periodontist, helps patients develop more effective oral hygiene habits, allowing them to remove harmful periodontal disease-causing bacteria. When periodontal disease becomes advanced, Dr. Markzar can take steps to eliminate the bacteria, and restore missing teeth with dental implants.
