Gum Disease Treatment in Thane

Gum disease, also known as Periodontal disease, is one of the most common reasons for tooth loss and bad breath. This disease starts gradually. Some of the early signs are swollen, red, bleeding gums or bad breath which is followed by more severe symptoms like loose, shifted teeth and a dull ache in the gums. There are many types of gum surgeries that can help relieve these symptoms.
