Houston Periodontists Stress Early Gum Disease Detection To Prevent Tooth Loss And Chronic Perio Breath”

(MENAFN- ForPressRelease) The Periodontal and Implant Surgeons of Houston are raising awareness about one of the most commonly overlooked oral health problems-gum disease-and the importance of early detection to prevent long-term complications such as tooth loss, systemic health issues, and chronic bad breath, often referred to as perio breath.

Gum disease frequently begins silently. In its early stages, patients may experience bleeding gums, swelling, tenderness, or a persistent bad taste in the mouth. Unfortunately, many dismiss these signs until the condition has advanced. One of the most common questions patients ask is,“What does gum disease smell like?” The answer is that it produces an unmistakable odor caused by bacterial buildup. This odor often signals the need for immediate professional care.

“By the time patients search online for a board certified periodontist near me, gum disease is often already advanced,” explains Dr. Pedro Trejo, Board-Certified Periodontist at the practice.“We want people to understand that gum health is as important as heart health. Catching periodontal problems early can save teeth, restore confidence, and improve overall health.”

The practice highlights that untreated gum disease is not just an oral health concern-it has been linked to systemic conditions including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory problems, and pregnancy complications. This makes timely evaluation and treatment essential not only for preserving a healthy smile but also for protecting overall well-being.

To address these challenges, the Periodontal and Implant Surgeons of Houston encourage patients to schedule regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and comprehensive periodontal evaluations. Their board-certified team-including Dr. Pedro Trejo, Dr. Karen Marino, Dr. Michelle Michaiel, Dr. C.C. Trejo, and Dr. Arun Vashisht-utilizes advanced diagnostic tools and minimally invasive treatments to detect gum disease at its earliest stages. This approach allows patients to receive personalized care before irreversible damage occurs.

The doctors emphasize that prevention and awareness are the most powerful tools. Routine professional care not only helps prevent complications such as tooth loss and bone deterioration but also addresses persistent halitosis linked to gum disease. For patients who struggle with confidence due to“perio breath,” early treatment can provide both oral health improvements and renewed self-esteem.
