Periodontal Treatment

We fundamentally treat gum disease to maintain healthy oral cavity

What is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease that occurs in the gums (gingiva) and tissues surrounding the teeth (periodontal tissues).
It is a disease where gums swell, bleed, and in severe cases, teeth are lost due to bacterial toxins and inflammatory reactions.
