Gum Therapy
Receive thorough treatment for gum disease Gum disease, also referred to as periodontal disease or periodontitis, is a bacterial infection affecting the gums. If neglected, it can lead to harm in the bone supporting your teeth which ultimately leads to loss of teeth.
Whether you’re experiencing the initial stages of gingivitis or facing extensive damage and decay due to years of gum disease, our skilled team is ready to assist you.
What leads to gum disease?
The primary cause of periodontal disease is the accumulation of plaque, a dense bacterial film, on the gums and teeth. Various factors contribute to gum disease, such as:
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Diabetes
- Stress
- Genetic predisposition
- Misaligned teeth
- Certain medications
- Hormonal fluctuations, particularly in women
To diagnose the condition and tailor an effective treatment plan for your individual smile, a thorough examination and consultation with one of our dentists are necessary.
