Causes of Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease is most often caused by a buildup of plaque and bacteria along the gumline. Other contributing factors can include smoking, certain medications, hormonal changes, and genetics. At Kathryn A. Siemens, DDS, Inc, we can help identify your risk factors and recommend a plan to protect your gum health.
