Periodontal Gum Treatment

Gum Treatment

Are your gums red, swollen, or tender? Do they bleed when you brush or floss? These could be early signs of periodontal disease, a serious condition that affects the health of your gums and, if left untreated, can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.

Gum disease is caused by plaque and tartar buildup, which irritate and inflame the gum tissue. Beyond oral health, research shows that untreated gum disease is linked to other health concerns such as:

• Heart disease

• Stroke

• Diabetes

• High blood pressure

• Pregnancy complications

• Respiratory illnesses
