Symptoms of Gum Disease
Gum disease is often characterised by bad breath and heavy tartar buildup. Other symptoms include gum recession, bleeding gums and tooth loss. During your exam, we’ll screen for signs of tissue detachment and bone loss, which may not be visible without special instruments or X-rays.
By intercepting gum disease early, we can help you prevent unnecessary tooth loss or the additional health risks that come with periodontal infections. When gum therapy is necessary, a series of deep cleanings are usually recommended. From there, more frequent scale and cleans every 3-4 months can help to reduce the risk of recurring infection.
