Ninety percent of the Ameri can population is unaware that it has periodontal disease, which has been called gum disease or pyorrhea. The reason that most people are unaware that they have such a disease is because it is not an acute disease like a cold or the flu, which drains you over night, but rather it is a chronic long-term disease. What is periodontal disease and what does it do to you? Periodontal disease is a result of bacterial actions and the Some people would say that losing the teeth is not so bad because dentures can be worn. , However, dentures are not the ultimate in dental health. They are the last resort for dentists to provide patients with an esthetic set of teeth and a means to eat their food. Depending on a person's bone, dentures will become loose, relined and replaced many times in a lifetime. In time, dentures will cause more bone loss since they traumatize and inflame the underlying tissue, body's response to the bac teria. It is an inflammatory disease which will affect the gums as well as bone. Another way to look at it is an infection of the gums by the bacteria. Some of the signs of the disease are puffy, swollen, red gums which bleed when brushed and especially when flossed. The gums are usually tender when flossed, cleaned, or probed. The teeth may be sensitive to cold or hot depending on how long the disease has been present. Roots of the teeth begin to show up and notches may begin to form in these exposed roots. And. finally, the ulti mate of the disease, teeth become mobile and are lost due to the bone loss. Haws, Joe Sanchez and Todd Pitchford.

Ac tually it is very simple if you remember one thing. You should never see blood on your floss or tooth brush, and if you do you are not flossing or brushing properly to remove the disease causing bacteria. The exception to this is you may have a bad filling or a systemic disease. Both of which cannot be taken care of by you but can be by your dentist or doctor. So it can be said that a majority of the nation has periodontal disease. That if this chronic disease is allowed to continue, teeth will be lost and a denture will become the means of mastication. How ever, the disease can be stopped or at least slowed down by remembering that there should never be any blood present when flossing or brushing. 2 YEAR TERM This Political Adv.r1it.ment Paid By 1 r O Mgon Francis Rose Mothers honored A special program honored mothers, at the Assembly of God in Irrigon, last Sunday morning.
