Gum Disease

Do you suffer from bleeding gums? You may require an assessment from our dentist to check for disease…

Gum Disease is the most common cause for tooth loss in adults. Gum disease results in spaces between the teeth, gum and bone, called pockets. The deeper these pockets, the less space supporting the tooth which heightens the risk of tooth loss.

Signs of Gum Disease

• Bleeding gums
• Receding gum and bone
• Recent spacing
• Sensitivity around tooth necks

Flossing is an important preventive measure in removing plaque and food from around the tooth that may be missed when brushing.

Our dental professionals can perform a thorough examination to determine if you have the condition and what type of treatment may be suitable.
