Identifying
Gum Disease

Affordable Dental Care Vaughan

Gum disease is an assault of bacteria on the gums. It begins with gingivitis, or bleeding gums but can lead to gum recession and tooth decay.

Identifying it early can help reduce its effects, along with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.

Regular Cleanings
Are Necessary

The best way to treat gum disease is to prevent it. You can do that by brushing twice daily, flossing, and visiting your dentist twice a year for exams and cleanings. Regular cleanings keep plaque and tartar from growing and causing problems with your gums.

Deep Teeth Cleaning

One way to prevent gum disease is with
deep teeth cleaning. This is where a dentist
goes under the gums to clean out plaque
and tartar, which removes bacteria and
prevents pockets of space from developing
between gums and teeth.
