Gum disease, also referred to as periodontal disease or periodontitis, is an infection that affects your oral tissue. This tissue helps keep our teeth in place and protects against harmful bacteria. When the health of your gums is compromised, it can cause several problems for your oral health. A good oral hygiene routine and a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the chances of an infection. If you have symptoms of periodontitis, the team at Advanced Dental Concepts in Auburn Hills, MI, can help you manage these symptoms.
