Gum Disease
Noticing uncommon pain, swelling, or sensitivity in your gums? We can help.
What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is the most common dental problem facing patients today. Caused by too much plaque and bacteria, this infection attacks the gums and bone surrounding your teeth and leads to inflammation, tenderness, and frequent bleeding.
Symptoms of gum disease include bleeding gums lasting over several days, mouth tenderness, and swelling gums.
If you develop gum disease, our team will work with you to develop a treatment plan to reduce the risk of future infections.
Can I Prevent Gum Disease?
Daily oral care, including brushing twice daily and flossing regularly, is a simple way to do your part in preventing gum disease.
Regular check-ups and cleanings allow our hygiene team to remove plaque and bacteria before it can lead to an infection.
