Gum (Periodontal) Disease
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common condition among our patients. At Perry Smiles, we offer comprehensive gum disease treatment to address all stages of periodontal issues and protect your oral health.
Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease or periodontitis, refers to an infection in the gums and supporting bone around your teeth. Addressing gum disease early is essential, as the health of your gums and bones directly impacts the stability of your teeth and their roots.
