Gum diseases can come in two forms: gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is the milder form and can be easily treated. It often leads to inflammation of the gums, making them tender and appear red.

Periodontitis is a serious gum disease characterized by inflammation and infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. It is a more advanced stage of gum disease than gingivitis, which is the initial inflammation of the gums. Periodontitis can cause significant damage to the gums, bones, and ligaments that hold teeth in place, potentially leading to tooth loss if left untreated.

Advanced periodontal treatment plays a pivotal role in addressing the complexities of severe gum disease, or periodontitis. This comprehensive approach encompasses a range of specialized techniques designed to combat the disease’s progression, prevent tooth loss, and restore optimal oral health.
