Periodontitis
The sooner you seek care for gum disease, the better your chances of reversing damage from periodontitis
Treating Gum Disease
Healthy gums are meant to be pale pink and firm – snuggly wrapping around our teeth. When our gums get swollen or puffy, begin to turn color, or bleed easily, these can be signs of Periodontitis (per-e-o-don-TIE-tis) or gum disease. If caught early enough, there are ways to help reverse the damage.Â
