Periodontal disease is a serious gum infection that can loosen and even cause loss of teeth if left untreated. It happens when bacteria get trapped under your gums and damage the bone that supports your teeth.
Signs to Watch For
- Pain when brushing or flossing
- Bleeding gums
- Red, puffy, or sensitive gums
Treatment
Non-surgical gum therapy is a painless way to remove harmful bacteria and allow your gums to heal, helping protect your teeth and overall oral health.
