our team » periodontics

Periodontal Disease (also known as gum disease, periodontitis or pyorrhoea) is an infection of the underlying supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontal diseases are gum and bone infections caused by the bacteria (germs) in your mouth. More teeth are lost due to gum disease than to tooth decay. Periodontitis is usually painless, and by the time people become aware of problems, usually teeth becoming loose or drifting out of alignment, serious damage has been done. The good news is that the earlier periodontal disease is detected, the more successful the treatment results. Our team of dentists with special interest in periodontology, hygienists and oral health educators provide treatment to combat against gum disease.
