Periodontal disease is an infection that occurs due to plaque buildup around the roots of your teeth and around the soft tissue. When this happens, you may experience symptoms like sensitivity to the area, swelling, and bad breath. In more advanced stages, you may begin to notice that your gums are receding, which exposes more of your tooth’s structure and can cause several oral health problems. Dr. Kania in Encinitas, CA, may be able to help treat the receding gingivae with minimally invasive pinhole grafts.
