Gum Disease Treatment
Periodontal (gum) disease is caused by plaque buildup and is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss. Gum disease can be pain-free in its earliest stages, so regular checkups are important for early detection and prevention. Keep an eye out for these signs:
Red, tender, swollen gums or gums that bleed easily
Gums that have receded
Changes in the fit of your partial dentures
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
Changes in your bite
Pus between your teeth and gums
Loose permanent teeth
