Have you begun to notice redness or swelling along your gumline? Or have your gums started to bleed when you brush and floss? If so, then make an effort and call your dentist to talk about what is going on. These may be signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease, which can really harm your smile in the long run. Periodontal disease is identified as the leading cause of adult tooth loss, so it is important to find a way to improve your gum health before it progresses further.
With our dental professionals in Auburn Hills, MI, you have an oral health team that is ready to help you make some positive changes. Periodontal disease is often caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar, which can happen when you are going a little too light on your brushing and flossing. With a cleaning and examination, we can identify areas where you can strengthen your smile through consistent preventive care. If additional treatment is necessary, we provide dedicated periodontal services to keep those areas cleaner for longer. To schedule an appointment, call our front desk today!
