Signs of periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, can be bleeding gums, sensitive or swollen gums, or receding gums. It can cause teeth to become loose and lead to chronic bad breath. If left unchecked, tooth decay and loss is inevitable. However, it can be corrected with proper treatment.

What Happens at an Appointment

Of course, brushing and flossing daily as well as preventative care checkups is important to keeping gums healthy.

If the dentist finds an infection with the gums at an appointment, a treatment plan will be discussed and you’ll be on your way to a healthy mouth in no time.
