Understanding Periodontal Disease: The Silent Smile Saboteur
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is an inflammatory condition affecting the soft tissue areas surrounding the teeth. If left unchecked, it can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to other health complications. Recognizing the signs and seeking prompt treatment is crucial for maintaining both oral and overall health.
