They range from mild gingivitis, characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed during brushing or flossing, to severe periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss and systemic health issues if left untreated.
Our experienced team of dental professionals specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of gum diseases, from gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, using advanced techniques and personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.
