Periodontal or “gum” disease affects a large portion of the population.
Periodontal disease is caused by the bacteria living in our mouths and can
result in bad breath, gum recession, tooth sensitivity or tooth loss.
Periodontal disease is a chronic disease. Like diabetes or high blood
pressure a regular maintenance routine is the best way to control the
disease over time. At Dr Leff, Weiss, and Waldee we have a periodontist on
staff who is specially trained to manage periodontal disease and help you
maintain healthy gums and teeth for a lifetime.
