Periodontal Therapy
According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, periodontal disease is an infection of the gums that is generally caused by poor brushing habits that lead to the creation of plaque buildup on your teeth. In critical cases, periodontal disease can bring difficulties with chewing and bleeding gums.
Symptoms of Periodontal Disease:
● Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
● Formation of deep pockets between teeth and gums
● Red gums
● Tender or bleeding gums
● Painful chewing
● Loose or shifting teeth
● Sensitive teeth
