What Is Periodontal Disease?

In this video, Dr. Ruedi Tillmann explains the causes, symptoms, and treatments for periodontal disease. Patients in Ogden and Greater Salt Lake City can visit our Kaysville office for a free consultation to protect their gums and teeth.

Many patients wonder how they can be losing their teeth even if they feel no pain. This is often due to periodontal disease. Periodontal disease occurs when microorganisms around the teeth and gums create an infection that destroys the supporting bone. If this condition is not treated with regular cleanings and maintenance, the bone structure continues to deteriorate.

Over time, symptoms such as bleeding gums, bad breath, gum discomfort, and eventual tooth loss can occur. Proper oral hygiene and routine dental care are essential to prevent this progression. Our focus is on providing treatments and education to help manage periodontal disease and maintain healthy gums and teeth.
