Prevent gum disease
Healthy gums are essential for holding your teeth securely in place and shielding them from bacteria and infection. Bleeding gums are often a warning sign of gum disease, which can have severe outcomes, including tooth loss.
Gum disease, an infection of the tissues that support and surround your teeth, is primarily caused by the buildup of bacteria. This accumulation creates a "pocket" between the gums and teeth where bacteria can thrive. If untreated, these bacteria can erode the bone that supports your teeth, potentially causing them to loosen—a process that typically goes unnoticed until it is severe enough to require tooth extraction. Due to its subtle progression and serious consequences, we place a high emphasis on early detection and management of gum disease.
