Periodontal Diseases

Periodontal diseases are gum infections that gradually damage the support of your teeth. They usually begin when plaque starts to build up inside your mouth, leading to invisible bacterial growth. If the problem is not prevented timely, the damage can become permanent.

GINGIVITIS

This is the first stage of periodontal disease, that can be caused by a variety of factors, such as Tobacco use, poor brushing habits, family history of. bad oral health, diabetes, pregnancy, poor dietary habits, some medications and the likes of it.

PERIODONTITIS

If gingivitis is not treated, on time, it can further develop into Periodontitis, i.e. advanced Gum Disease. When the disease reaches this stage, the bacterial infection starts to attack your bone and gums, causing them to deteriorate. You will start to notice, spaces between your teeth, recession of gums, and premature loosening of your teeth. It is important to treat such conditions as early as possible to avoid further damage. An all-inclusive oral exam can help in detecting this problem early on.
