The Basics of Periodontal Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a progressive condition that affects the health of your gums and teeth. It is caused by a buildup of plaque and bacteria around the gum line. When left untreated, it can cause inflammation, bleeding gums, receding gums, tooth loss, and other more serious complications. It’s important to recognize the early signs of gum disease and seek treatment as possible.
Common causes of periodontal disease include poor oral hygiene, smoking, certain medications, advanced age, and a weakened immune system. Early stages are often treatable with more frequent professional cleanings and improved oral hygiene habits at home. Advanced cases may require more intensive treatment such as scaling and root planing to remove plaque and bacteria from below the gum line. At Park South Dentistry, our experienced dentists can provide you with a personalized treatment plan to make sure your teeth and gums stay healthy for years to come.
