What is periodontal disease?

Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is prevalent among adults. Gingivitis is especially common. If you’re experiencing irritation, inflammation, and bleeding of the gums, you could have gingivitis. Visit Today Dental as soon as possible.

Without treatment, periodontal disease can develop into more progressive conditions, like periodontitis. Periodontitis puts your gums and jawbone at risk. Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss.

Fortunately, periodontal disease is perfectly treatable. We can prevent the major side-effects from occurring with non-surgical measures at Today Dental!

Our dental professionals recommend frequent periodontal exams so the disease can be discovered in its earliest stages. Early detection results in easier treatment. If your gums are looking a little swollen, schedule a quick exam at Today Dental.
