77IMPLANT DENTAL CLINIC
A common condition affecting 80% of adults — left untreated, it can cause the gums and teeth to break down.
Periodontal disease, sometimes called "gum disease,"
affects more than 8 out of 10 adults.
Because there's little to no pain in the early stages, most people don't notice until it becomes chronic,
meaning that by the time symptoms appear,
a simple scaling treatment may no longer be enough.
Mild gum disease can often be treated with scaling alone.
