Gum Disease Specialists

Periodontal Care in Georgetown, TX

Periodontal (gum) disease affects not only your gums and teeth, but can lead to more evident problems elsewhere. This troublesome infection causes tooth loss and other health problems such as heart disease, respiratory disease, and diabetes if left untreated.

Bacteria is to blame for gum disease, also referred to as gingivitis in the earliest stages. It presents itself in the form of irritated gums that are red, swollen, and tend to bleed easy. If left untreated, gingivitis can become periodontitis, causing further damage to teeth and gums that’s harder to treat.
