Periodontal Treatment

Gum disease used to be called pyorrhoea in the old days. It's a growing problem where your gums and the bone around your teeth get inflamed. After the age of 30, it becomes the main reason people lose their teeth. Around 80% of people over 30 may have some level of gum disease, but the severity can vary.

Gum disease can range from simple inflammation to serious problems that damage the tissues supporting your teeth. In the worst cases, you might even lose your teeth. Gum diseases, like gingivitis and periodontitis, are infections that, if not treated, can lead to tooth loss. It can affect one tooth or many teeth.
