What is periodontal disease?

Periodontal (gum) disease is a condition that is caused by inflamed gum tissue…

When the gums become inflamed, they can cause a large imbalance within the mouth and if left untreated, can develop to gingivitis and later severe periodontitis. Severe periodontitis is one of the more dangerous stages of gum disease and can cause tooth decay, bone loss and tooth loss, as well as heighten the risk of other disorders within the body such as dementia, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
