Periodontal disease is a major health care issue affecting a large sector of the population.
It often goes unnoticed as it is difficult for people to diagnose. The disease can begin at any age from adolescence and may progress over the years. Therefore it is important to make regular visits to your dentist. We are committed to providing whole mouth care, and an important component of this is a detailed and accurate assessment of your gums. There are many forms of periodontal diseases and the primary cause is due to bacterial plaque located near or below the gum margins.
