Stop Gum Disease in
its Tracks with Timely Treatment
Healthy Gums are Essential for a Happy Smile
Gum tissue supports your jawbone and teeth and helps create a barrier against harmful bacteria. Inadequate oral hygiene can cause plaque buildup on teeth, and when it hardens into calculus (tartar), toxins are released that can infect gum tissue. Although it’s common for gum disease to go undetected, it is progressive. It will eventually damage your gum tissue, bone, and teeth and can even exacerbate systemic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
If you’ve noticed your gums are more tender than usual or bleed easily when you brush and floss, this can lead to gum infection and harmful inflammation that can impact your oral health more than usual.
