Gum disease affects one in two adult Americans, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Early signs of gum disease can be easily missed; bleeding gums, swelling, redness or sensitivity can all be signs of gum disease. Prevention is the best option for gum disease. We recommend dental check-ups twice a year, which is in line with the American Dental Association guidance. As a part of your check-up, we will assess your gum health and may advise visiting the hygienist. If you have concerns in the meantime you can contact the office to arrange an appointment.
