What Is Periodontal Disease?

In this video, Dr. Amelia Aristodemo discusses how periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, as well as the importance of early detection.

What is periodontal disease? Commonly referred to as gum disease, it is a severe bacterial infection that targets the gums and the surrounding tissues. Without proper treatment, this condition can lead to bone deterioration and result in loosening teeth.

One of the deceptive aspects of gum disease is its lack of pain, making it difficult to detect without professional help. This is why regular dental check-ups are essential for early detection. We encourage you to contact us for a comprehensive exam to assess the health of your gums and learn about our laser dentistry options.
