Periodontics in CDMX: Protecting Your Oral Health
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our periodontal care focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease with precision and compassion.

Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease (periodontitis) is one of the most common and often overlooked oral conditions. It begins silently, with inflammation or bleeding, but can progress to bone loss, tooth mobility, and even systemic health problems if left untreated. With the treatments of Dr. Peñalva we identify these early warning signs using digital imaging and comprehensive periodontal evaluations.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Gum disease (periodontitis) is usually caused by plaque buildup, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, stress, hormonal changes, and even genetics can increase risk. If untreated, the infection can destroy the bone that supports your teeth and lead to tooth loss.
