The Need for Healthy Gums

When people talk about their dental health, they’re usually talking about their teeth. But the health of your gums is every bit as important when it comes to saving your teeth. Gum disease can cause patients to lose their permanent teeth.

Warning Signs of Gum Disease

Untreated gum disease can result in the loss of every one of your teeth. We’ll recommend treatment if we see signs of gum disease like these:

Red, puffy or tender gums
Bleeding after brushing or flossing
Gums separating from the teeth
Loose teeth
Persistent bad breath

How We Treat Gum Disease

Gum disease treatment could include improving your at-home care, a thorough professional cleaning below the gum line or medicated mouthwash. We’ll be looking out for signs of gum disease every time we see you.
