Why Gum Health Matters
Gum disease begins silently—when plaque builds up on teeth and hardens into tartar, it can move below the gum line and start damaging the soft tissue, bone, and tooth roots. Without professional dental cleanings, this process can go unnoticed until serious symptoms appear.
But with regular checkups and cleanings, we can catch the earliest signs and stop gum disease in its tracks—before it ever becomes a problem.
Warning Signs Of Periodontal Disease:
If left unchecked, gum disease can lead to:
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Receding gums
- Bad breath that won’t go away
- Tender or painful gums
- Loose teeth or gumline infections
At this stage, deep cleaning and maintenance are needed—but with preventive care, it can often be avoided altogether.
