If something is wrong with your gums, there is no great smile. Gentle Care Family Dental Clinic in Highpoint diagnoses, treats, and prevents periodontal (gum) diseases to help maintain your mouth and body’s health.
What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums and supporting bone caused by plaque and tartar. Untreated, the gums might recede, then the teeth become mobile, and eventually loss of the teeth.
Signs To Watch Out For:
Gums that are red, swollen, or bleeding.
Foul breath that simply won’t go away.
Gums are pulling away from the teeth or sensitive to touch.
Loose teeth or teeth that appear to be moving.
