Why Is Gum Health So Important?
Healthy gums are an essential part of a healthy smile. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, can develop when bacteria and plaque build up around the teeth and gums. Without treatment, it may lead to gum inflammation, bleeding, gum recession, and damage to the structures that support your teeth.
Periodontal therapy focuses on controlling infection and helping restore the health of your gums. Depending on the severity of your condition, treatment may include professional deep cleaning or other therapies designed to remove harmful bacteria and protect your teeth and supporting tissues.
