Gum disease is a chronic dental condition and requires active management by a dental professional. While it can certainly be improved with the proper home care, once it has reached a certain stage it will continue to deteriorate without appropriate dental treatment. Generally, the first line of treatment involves deep cleaning and gum disinfection to remove the bacterial burden. However, if left untreated, gum disease can pose future health risks, and lead to tooth loss. Book your appointment today, and smile with confidence.
