Periodontal Gum Disease

Periodontal gum disease is usually accompanied by different symptoms and sometimes it can occur without warning. The first stage of gum disease is gingivitis. Gingivitis makes the gums swell, bleed easily, or appear red. If gingivitis worsens, it can develop into periodontitis. Periodontitis is an infection that destroys the bone and gums that hold your teeth into place. This can cause your teeth to become loose and eventually, fall out.

One of the best ways to fight gum disease is through consistent dental cleanings. Dental cleanings, also known as prophylaxis, help remove built-up plaque and tartar that cause gum disease. Having regular dental cleanings can help kill harmful bacteria, giving you optimal oral health.
