What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common but serious condition that affects the tissues surrounding and supporting your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss.
The earlier it is diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome. At Al Qadi Medical Center, we provide advanced and personalized gum disease treatments to restore your oral health and protect your smile.
