Protect Your Oral Health with Effective Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that affects the tissues supporting your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues. Thankfully, with early detection and treatment, gum disease is preventable and manageable.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease starts with gum inflammation (gingivitis) and can progress to more severe stages (periodontitis), where the gums and bone that support your teeth are damaged. Common causes include poor oral hygiene, smoking, and genetic factors.
