![]() About seventy percent of the population over the age of thirty has gum disease, which could involve only the gum (Gingivitis) and/or loss of jaw bone around the teeth (Periodontitis). These conditions could be either localized around certain teeth or all of the teeth. Periodontal disease is the major cause of tooth loss. Dental implants function as replaced teeth and they can get gum disease as well with poor oral hygiene, a condition known as Implantitis. Our office deals with the prevention and correction of gum disease around both teeth and implants. |
