Gum disease is an infection of the tissues (gum & bone) that surround and support your teeth. It is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Because gum disease is usually painless, you may not know you have it. Also referred to as periodontal disease, gum disease is caused by plaque, the sticky film of bacteria that is constantly forming on our teeth. Other causes of gum disease are: smoking, genetics, crooked teeth, pregnancy, diabetes, and some medications. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings with Tomalty Dental Care can help diagnose & treat periodontal disease.
Prevention is key to maintaining healthy gums. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are essential to avoid gum disease. Our team at Tomalty Dental Care will work with you to create a personalized care plan that fits your needs and keeps your gums healthy.
