Periodontal Gum Care

Periodontal disease or periodontitis is a bacterial infection involving the gums and bone that surround the teeth. It begins with sticky plaque that builds up at your gum line. If left untreated I can lead to teeth becoming loose and eventually falling out. 

Periodontitis can can lead to chronic inflammation of your gums which can be painful and make your teeth sensitive.
