Your Gums Aren’t the Only Thing at Risk! 😳🦷

Gum disease doesn't just affect your gums. It can affect the bone supporting your teeth. It often starts with plaque buildup along the gum line which can trigger inflammation. In the early stage called gingivitis, you may notice red,

swollen, or bleeding gums. But if left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis where the gums begin to pull away from the teeth and the supporting bone can gradually break down. Over time, this can cause teeth to

become loose and in severe cases lead to tooth loss. So, if your gums regularly bleed, swell, or recede, don't ignore the signs. Early evaluation can help manage gum disease before more serious damage occurs. At Oaks Dental Clinic,

we're here to help you keep your gums healthy and your smile strong.
