Undetected Gum Disease Can Be Dangerous

We’ve all heard that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but when it comes to gum disease, prevention may be worth even more. After all, wouldn’t you rather prevent a crisis than manage one? And believe it or not, gum disease is at crisis levels, even here in Houston.

It doesn’t make the nightly news, but more than 50 percent of people in the Houston area don’t visit a dentist regularly. Even worse, of that 50 percent of the population, 80 percent have some degree of gum or bone disease. Could you be among those statistics?
