Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease is a serious gum infection that damages soft tissue and, without treatment, can destroy the bone supporting teeth. Common symptoms include swollen gums, bleeding, and bad breath. Periodontal disease is linked to other health issues such as heart disease and diabetes, requiring prompt attention for effective management.
