Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a dangerous infection of your gums that support and surround all your teeth. Gum disease can be painless, so it often goes unnoticed and leads to one of the major reasons adults suffer tooth loss.  Did you know, gum disease can also lead to bone loss as well? Well, it’s true!

Gum disease is a dental condition that needs to be addressed. During your regular dental checkup, your dentist, Dr. [doctor_name], will examine you and check you for gum disease lurking in your smile. The sooner it is caught the better and less damage could occur, which is why it is vital to address as soon as possible. Daily routines of brushing and flossing are also important tools when it comes to fighting off or reversing this dangerous disease.
