Protect Your Smile from Gum Disease

Keep Your Gums Healthy, Keep Your Smile Bright

Gum disease is a common oral health problem that can lead to serious consequences if left untreated. But the good news is, it's largely preventable with proper care.
 

What is gum disease?

Gum disease begins when plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, builds up on your teeth. If not removed through regular brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar, irritating your gums and causing inflammation. Over time, this inflammation can lead to:

Gingivitis: Early-stage gum disease characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums.
Periodontitis: Advanced gum disease that destroys the tissue and bone supporting your teeth.

Signs of gum disease:

Bleeding gums
Red, swollen, or tender gums
Persistent bad breath
Loose teeth
Changes in bite

Preventing gum disease:

  • Regular brushing and flossing: Remove plaque and food particles from your teeth.
  • Professional cleanings: Schedule regular check-ups and cleanings to remove tartar.
  • Healthy diet: Limit sugary foods and drinks.
  • Quit smoking: Smoking increases your risk of gum disease.
