Periodontal disease, often referred to as gum disease, is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It is a common oral health issue that can range from mild gum inflammation (gingivitis) to severe tissue and bone destruction around the teeth (periodontitis). If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and have implications for overall health.

Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential to manage periodontal disease effectively and prevent its progression. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce the risk of gum disease.
