Periodontics
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, occurs when plaque is allowed to build up at the gums. Infrequent brushing and flossing causes gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums. This leads to infection and gum disease.
Signs Of Gum Disease
Bleeding, swelling, and a receding gum line are the first signs of periodontal disease. Other signs can include chronic bad breath, sensitive teeth, or even loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t delay in seeking treatment.
Periodontics To The Rescue
Fortunately, gum disease can be treated with a proper dental plan designed by the dentist and a dedicated at-home care plan. Your gums will be back to health in no time.
