Gum Disease: Is It Curable?

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is one of the most common oral health issues affecting adults. It ranges in severity from mild gum inflammation (gingivitis) to more serious conditions that can lead to tooth loss (periodontitis). Many people wonder: Can a dentist actually cure gum disease? It can be managed and symptoms can be reduced, but it depends on catching it in its early stages.
