Gum Treatment

Periodontitis, also known as gum disease, is a prevalent infection that damages the soft tissues and bones supporting the teeth. If left untreated, it leads to the gradual loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth and, ultimately, tooth loss. This condition may also increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other health complications. The primary cause of periodontitis is bacterial plaque—a sticky, colorless film that forms on the tooth surface. If plaque is not removed, it can harden into tartar. Regular care and early treatment at Medowie Dental Care can help prevent the progression of gum disease and safeguard your overall health.
