Advanced Periodontitis in Petoskey, MI
Understanding Advanced Periodontal Disease
Advanced periodontitis is a severe stage of gum disease caused by a bacterial infection that attacks the gum tissues and can lead to tooth loss when not treated in its early stages. When periodontitis is left untreated for an extended period, it can progress to advanced periodontitis, which can cause significant damage to the gums, teeth, and supporting bones.
Our Petoskey, MI dentist, Dr. Brian Klym of Northwood Dental, recommends immediate treatment when you notice any symptoms of periodontitis to prevent further damage from occurring. Learn more by calling our Petoskey location at (231) 347-2188.
