Even though perfect teeth take the center stage of every smile, healthy gums are equally important. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Gum disease is a silent disease and by the time you realize it, it’s already late and the damage is done.
When gum disease sets in, it breaks the strong bond between teeth and supporting gums, and can cause loss of bone around your teeth. Bleeding gums during brushing or redness and tender swollen gums are an early warning of gum disease.
