Periodontal Disease, or more commonly known as gum disease, is when poor brushing and care leads to plaque being left on the teeth along the gum line. This eats away at the gums and can lead to tooth decay and bone loss.
Signs of gum disease include bleeding and receding gums, sensitivity, loose teeth, and chronic bad breath.
What Happens at an Appointment
Periodontal disease is treatable. The dentist will evaluate your situation and get you on the path to healthy gums again.
