Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common oral health concern that, if left untreated, can lead to significant oral health problems, including tooth loss. Early detection and prevention are crucial in managing gum disease effectively. Understanding the early signs and symptoms is key to seeking timely treatment. Our dental hygienists are trained to identify the early stages of gum disease. The initial stages of gum disease often present with mild symptoms, such as bleeding gums during brushing or flossing. As the disease progresses, symptoms may worsen, including persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. Regular dental checkups are essential for early detection and prevention. Our team is committed to providing you with the best possible care and support in your journey to optimal oral health. By understanding the risk factors and implementing preventive measures, you can significantly reduce your chances of developing gum disease. These measures include maintaining good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing regularly, and following a healthy diet. Our dental hygienists can provide personalized guidance and support to help you achieve optimal oral health.
