GUM DISEASE TREATMENT OREM, UT

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a condition that results as plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) build up on the teeth. Bacteria in the plaque can infect and inflame your gums, and if left untreated, the condition can lead to tooth loss, bone loss, and receding gums. In addition, periodontal disease has been linked to several serious health conditions including heart disease, stroke, pregnancy complications, diabetes, and high blood pressure. At Gentle Dental Arts, we work to help you prevent and treat gum disease to avoid these serious consequences.

• Swollen gums
• Persistent bad breath
