The best way to prevent gum disease is effective daily brushing and flossing as well as regular professional examinations and cleanings. Unfortunately, even with the most diligent home dental care, people still can develop some form of periodontal disease. Once this disease starts, professional intervention is necessary to prevent its progress.

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) is a common but serious condition caused by plaque and bacteria that build up around the gumline. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and even affect your overall health. In fact, 50% of Americans have some level of periodontal disease.
