Periodontal (Gum Disease)

Periodontal in Louisville, KY

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a condition in which the gums or tissues that hold your teeth in place become infected. Periodontal disease is often caused by a buildup of plaque (a thin layer of bacteria that builds up over time).

Periodontal disease can cause many undesirable symptoms and conditions including sore or bleeding gums, chewing difficulty, and eventually tooth loss.

Our compassionate dental professionals will work with you to prevent or remedy periodontal disease. Contact our office today for more information.
