Periodontitis is a severe form of gum disease that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. This condition occurs when bacteria in plaque build up between your teeth and gums, causing inflammation and infection.
In New York, where fast-paced lifestyles can sometimes lead to neglected oral health, it’s crucial to be aware of the signs and seek prompt treatment.
Symptoms of periodontitis include:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Receding gums
- Loose teeth
- Persistent bad breath
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to consult a periodontitis specialist in NY.
