Gum Disease
Comprehensive Care for Healthy Gums and Overall Health
At Celebrate Smile Dental, we recognize the critical connection between oral health and overall well-being. Modern research suggests that gum disease may be linked to systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Infections in the gums can strain your immune system, making it work harder to defend your body against other health issues.
What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is a common condition that affects the tissues surrounding and supporting your teeth. It typically begins as gingivitis, characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, leading to tooth loss and other serious health problems.
Signs & Symptoms of Gum Disease:
Red, swollen, or tender gums
Bleeding during brushing or flossing
Persistent bad breath
Receding gums or teeth appearing longer
Loose or shifting teeth
Painful chewing
