Periodontal Gum Disease

in Aurora and Denver, Colorado

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, not only brings about severe health problems, but also can also adversely affect a patient's smile. If left unchecked, gum disease can even lead to a loss of teeth. Periodontal disease is caused by a large buildup of the bacteria found in plaque, which erode the soft tissues of the mouth. The early stages (gingivitis) are marked by red, inflamed, bleeding gums. If it is detected in these early stages, gum disease can often be reversed. For those cases where it is not detected early on, periodontal disease may still be treated using the latest in periodontal dentistry procedures.
