Periodontal Disease


What is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, affects the tissues that surround and support your teeth.


Understanding Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease is a serious infection that damages the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth. It starts with gingivitis (gum inflammation) and can progress to periodontitis, leading to tooth loss if untreated


Symptoms of Periodontal Disease

  • red swollen gums

  • bleeding while brushing

  • persistent bad breath

  • receding gums

  • loose teeth


Recognizing these signs early can help prevent the progression of the disease.


Treatment Options

Treatment may include professional cleanings, scaling and root planing, and in advanced cases, surgical procedures. Effective treatment helps restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.
