gingivitis con avanzadasPeriodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a degenerative condition caused by bacteria on the teeth and gums. The bacteria lead to infection and inflammation of the gum tissue, and can cause receding gums, tooth loss, and bone loss. At Athens Advanced Dental, we are committed to helping you prevent and treat periodontal disease. For mild to moderate cases of periodontal disease, we offer scaling and root planing treatments to stop the progress of the disease.
