Periodontitis, better known as gum disease, is an advanced stage of gingivitis that permanently damages the bones inside the gum and causes teeth loss.

• The gums will bleed and will feel mild pain
• Chewing will be painful

We at Smiles R Us advise that you seek dental help immediately if you have any of the above issues. We offer deep cleaning and surgery options dependent on the severity of your periodontitis.
