What are the symptoms?
Some individuals notice bleeding, bad breath, swollen/red gums or bad taste if they’re suffering from gum disease. Unfortunately, it’s possible to have no warning signs of periodontal disease. Because of this, it’s extremely important to have one of our trained hygienists clean and check your teeth often to ensure optimal oral health.
What are the causes?
Periodontal disease is caused by bacterial growth in your mouth that eats away at your gum tissues as well as your jawbone. It’s important to treat gum disease quickly, as the bacteria in your mouth can multiply by the millions within just a few hours and cause extreme pain, discomfort and tooth loss in a short amount of time.
Prevention is the key
When it comes to your teeth, preventing a problem is always better than fixing it. Regular cleaning will help to prevent tooth decay and alert you to any changes in your oral health. Stay on top of your dental health through effective cleaning habits and regular maintenance visits with our team of specially trained and experienced hygienists.
