Gum Disease Dentist Medford Oregon
Are you suffering from gum disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a remarkably common bacterial infection that causes pockets around the base of the teeth to form, impacts the structures that support your teeth, and can lead to bone loss if left untreated.

What is the treatment for gum disease?

Our team is dedicated to providing care that addresses your specific concerns and anxieties, and we will help you develop an individualized plan that works for you.
