Gum disease is one of the most prevalent diseases in the society. It is usually a silent disease that stays undetected for years to decades. It may first manifest as loose mobile teeth (one or more tooth) that can be painful or not. This disease affects the teeth support and slowly causes bone to regress leading to loose teeth.
Once detected, a regimen of surgical or non-surgical treatment is required to first halt its progression and then reverse the damage. Your dentist will grade the severity of the disease and propose a treatment plan accordingly.
