Stage I periodontal disease.
My husband has periodontal disease. what can he do to improve the condition along with brushing, flossing, etc.
In the very earliest stages, flossing and use of dental sticks allow for cleaning the contact areas (beween teeth) and stimulating the gums (in order to prevent receding gums and advancement of periodontal disease).
Preventing periodontal disease starts with daily brushing and flossing, regular dental cleanings, and early intervention by a specialist. At Periodontal and Implant Surgeons of Houston, we emphasize prevention because untreated gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss and complications with your dental implant in Houston. Healthy gums are the foundation for successful implants and long-term oral health.
Yes, periodontal disease is very common, affecting nearly half of adults over 30 in the U.S. It often begins as gingivitis and can progress to more serious gum and bone damage if left untreated. At Periodontal and Implant Surgeons of Houston, we regularly treat patients from Houston, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, and surrounding areas—many of whom didn’t realize they had gum disease until symptoms became advanced. Early diagnosis and specialized care are key to preventing long-term damage and tooth loss.
The abbreviation for the periodontal ligament is PDL. Periodontal disease is very occasionally abbreviated to PD.
It depends on how bad the periodontal disease is. Treatment can be deep cleaning, deep cleaning with surgery and extractions.
calcium supplementation may prevent periodontal disease as it builds a strong jawbone.

By definition, yes. Periodontal means "around the tooth." Periodontal disease is disease around the tooth. If there are no teeth, there can be no disease around the teeth.
