Maintain Your Oral Health with Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal therapy is a crucial aspect of maintaining optimal oral health. Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is an inflammatory condition affecting the tissues surrounding and supporting your teeth. This condition is primarily caused by the buildup of bacteria in plaque, which can lead to swollen, bleeding gums, and if left untreated, more severe complications such as bone loss and tooth loss.
Recognizing the signs of periodontal disease early is vital for effective treatment. Symptoms include:
- Red, swollen or tender gums that bleed easily
- Persistent bad breath
- Painful chewing
- Receding gums that make your teeth appear longer.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek a professional evaluation from our periodontists.
