Gum disease is the most prevalent of dental problems. It begins with bad breath and can lead to the loss of teeth. But periodontal disease can be kept at bay, or better yet, avoided all together. Your smile is most important tool in your career, your personal life and your happiness. Coeur 'd Alene dentist, Dr. Richard Witter can help you battle this dangerous enemy.

Dr. Witter will tell you that there two types of gum disease. The first, which is reversible, is gingivitis. With gingivitis, the gums are the only thing affected. This is what causes the first major symptom of gum disease - bad breath. However, left untreated, gingivitis can lead to more serious problems.

Some of the factors that increase the risk of developing gum disease include tobacco use, diabetes, some medications, ill-fitting bridges, crooked teeth, bad fillings and pregnancy. This list, of course, is not all inclusive. At Richard G Witter DDS we know that avoiding these risks could be paramount in the prevention of gum disease.
