​A resident of Niagara Falls, Ontario, James Frizzell, DDS, has been a dentist for over two decades. Serving as the owner of Frizzell Dental, Dr. James Frizzell helps patients with multiple dental issues and offers preventive care services against infections such as periodontitis.

Periodontitis is a gum disease that can progress to damage the bone supporting the teeth. It occurs when plaque bacteria are allowed to build up on the gums, releasing toxins that cause the gums to become inflamed. When the inflammation progresses to the bone and connective tissue supporting the teeth, it can eventually lead to tooth loss.

Periodontal disease can lead to other serious health conditions if not treated in time. For example, a report by Ontario’s chief medical officer reveals that conditions such as respiratory infections, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and poor nutrition are linked to periodontal disease. In the case of nutrition, for instance, if the mouth is infected and sore, it may be difficult for a person to eat.

Prevention is the most crucial factor in controlling gum disease. Brushing and flossing teeth twice a day can help eliminate plaque bacteria and slow down gum infection. However, when the condition is severe, an individual may need professional dental cleaning, antibiotics, or surgery.
