Periodontal disease can be devastating to your oral health if left untreated. In addition to infection, gum recession, and bone loss, periodontal disease has also been linked to other serious medical conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Treating your gum disease will not only improve your oral health, but will also contribute to your overall wellbeing.
