Gum disease treatment

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on the teeth, leading to inflammation and infection of the gums. If left untreated, gum disease can progress and result in the loss of teeth and damage to the surrounding tissues.

The treatment for gum disease varies depending on the stage and severity of the disease. In the early stages, nonsurgical therapies are often effective in controlling bacterial growth and reducing inflammation.
