Dr. Ortiz focuses on the health of your gums. To clarify, periodontal disease is an infection that damages the soft tissue and bone around your teeth. For example, he educates patients on the two main stages: gingivitis (gum inflammation) and the more advanced periodontitis. Most importantly, he emphasizes that periodontitis often develops from untreated gingivitis. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment by a specialist like Dr. Ortiz are essential to save your teeth.
