What Are the Symptoms of Gum Disease?
This video discusses periodontal disease, a serious condition that often remains unnoticed until it has advanced. Discover how regular dental visits play a crucial role in early detection and maintaining long-term oral health.
Periodontal disease is a condition that affects both the gum tissue and the bone that supports the teeth. It occurs above and below the gum line and can significantly compromise oral health. Interestingly, most people with periodontal disease are not aware they have it because it usually does not cause pain until it has progressed to an advanced stage, often resulting in tooth loss.
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are crucial for detecting periodontal disease in its early stages. These routine visits help determine whether further treatment is necessary or if general maintenance will suffice to maintain your oral health stability.
