Is gum disease serious?
Advanced gum disease can affect the tissues that support the teeth and lead to loose teeth. Early care helps protect your natural teeth.
How often should I have periodontal maintenance?
If you have a history of gum disease, regular maintenance visits are recommended. Your dentist sets the interval.
Do you treat receding gums?
Gum recession is evaluated as part of periodontal care, and your dentist explains suitable options for sensitivity or appearance.
