Early intervention is key! Don’t let gum disease affect your health. Our team at MySmile Dental Care in Anaheim Hills is here to help you restore your gums. 

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is an infection of the gums caused by plaque buildup around your teeth. If you don’t treat it, gum disease can lead to serious oral health issues, including tooth loss.

There are two stages:

  • Gingivitis: The early stage, which causes gum redness, swelling, and bleeding. You can reverse it with proper care.
  • Periodontitis: The advanced stage, where gums pull away from your teeth, leading to loose teeth and possible bone loss.

Early Gum Disease Signs You Need to Know

Recognizing the early signs of gum disease is crucial to prevent it from progressing. Catching it early can save your gums, teeth, and overall oral health. Here are the key signs to watch for:

Bleeding Gums

If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, it's an early warning sign of gum disease.

Swollen Gums

Gums that are puffy, red, or tender may indicate an infection.

Bad Breath

Persistent bad breath (halitosis) can be caused by the bacteria that thrive in infected gums.

Gum Sensitivity

It's a sign of gum diseaseIf if your gums bleed when you brush or floss.

Receding Gums

If your gums start pulling away from your teeth, it could be a sign of gum disease causing tissue and bone loss.

Loose Teeth

Gum disease can weaken the support around your teeth, leading to movement or loosening.

How We Provide Treatment for Gum Disease
