Cancer

Madison Dentists Provide Periodontal Assessments and Treatment to Lower Risk of Cancer Due to Gum Disease

Gum disease can do more than put you at risk for tooth loss. It can also significantly boost your risk of several Cancers, including: blood, kidney, and pancreatic cancer.

What might start off as some tenderness in the gums or bleeding gums during tooth-brushing could result in a plethora of health problems. Your best defense against gum disease is prevention. At Madison Family Dentistry, Doctors Law and Kshatri have your gums examined at every check-up. If you are found to have mild, moderate, or severe periodontal disease, further action needs to be taken.

Systemic Links

Gum disease means ongoing bacteria in your body. This puts the immune system under tremendous stress. Links to untreated gum disease include: diabetes, stroke, heart disease, pregnancy complications, ulcers, and other health problems in addition to the connection between gum disease and cancer.

Treatment for Gum Disease at Madison Family Dental

Early detection makes periodontal disease easier to treat and lowers your risk of Cancer and other systemic links. Scaling and root planing is one highly-effective approach and that’s something that Dr. Raj can offer. If gum disease is found, gum treatments may vary depending on severity but a rigid maintenance schedule can maximize your chances of stopping it from progressing, stopping it from resulting in tooth loss, and stopping periodontal disease from increasing your risk of Cancer and other health problems.
