Potential Long-Term Consequences of Untreated Gum Disease
Depending on the severity of your periodontitis, as well as how long you’ve had this medical issue, you may face several different long-term consequences without treatment. Because of these risks, we strongly recommend you seek appropriate dental attention from a care provider. Addressing any medical issues will help mitigate risks and damage to quality of life.
The following include some potential long-term consequences of untreated gum disease or periodontitis:
- Tooth loss
- Bone damage
- Receding gums
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Pain and discomfort in the mouth
- Increased risk of heart disease, heart attack, or stroke
Due to the severity of the adverse side effects associated with untreated gum disease, we urge you to seek the appropriate medical care sooner rather than later. You are welcome to contact Esteem Dental for assistance in assessing your dental health, the severity of the condition, and treatment. We can also help you understand how to prevent further occurrences of gum disease in the future.
