As periodontal disease is a progressive condition, in order to preserve your teeth, we recommend you seek dental treatment as soon as it is diagnosed by your dentist. Healthy gums can lead to gingivitis (the first stage or indication of the inflammation) which in turn, if left untreated, can lead to mild and then moderate periodontitis over time as it worsens. In the advanced stages bone loss in the mouth and tooth loss may potentially occur so book an appointment with a member of our team as soon as you become aware of regular symptoms causing you oral pain or discomfort.
