You’ve probably heard that gum disease is a fairly serious problem that you should have addressed as soon as possible. However, would you be surprised to hear that nearly half of all Americans have gum disease? Naturally, you should have gum disease addressed as soon as possible. If you don’t, it could actually become more serious.
As you might have suspected, gum disease could eventually result in tooth loss. If you address gum disease quickly, it’s fairly easy to reverse. In fact, you might be able to reverse gum disease from home. Similarly, we may be able to reverse gum disease simply by performing deep cleanings. Fortunately, there are a number of signs you can watch for, including persistent bad breath, swollen gums, sensitive teeth, receding gum lines, and pain when you chew.
Of course, you should also set up regular appointments with our team. These periodontal therapy appointments will include deep cleanings both above and below the gum line. How often these visits should occur will depend on your individual case.
