Gum Disease (Periodontal Treatment)

Gum disease, also known as gingivitis or periodontitis, is a common dental condition caused by plaque buildup around the gums. If left untreated, it can lead to swollen gums, bleeding, bad breath, gum recession, and even tooth loss. Early diagnosis and timely treatment help restore gum health and prevent long-term complications.
