Stronger Gums and a Healthier Smile
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, often begins with early signs like tenderness or bleeding when brushing or flossing. This occurs as plaque builds up on your teeth, causing your gums to become sensitive and possibly recede. If left untreated, gum disease can weaken the structures that support your teeth, leading to tooth and bone loss.
Beyond its effects on oral health, periodontal disease has been linked to systemic issues like heart disease and diabetes. With a passion and dedication to addressing gum disease and creating a healthier smile, Dr. Omar El-Banhawy is dedicated to providing expert care to protect your smile and overall health.
