Gum disease is common
Gum disease is an infection of the gums and the bone that holds your teeth in place. It's very common, and it often doesn't hurt at first. Gum disease treatment in Salt Lake City focuses on clearing the infection, calming your gums and protecting that bone.
Signs to watch for
- Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
- Red, swollen or tender gums
- Bad breath that won't go away
- Gums pulling back from your teeth
- Teeth that feel loose or are shifting
How we treat it
Early gum disease can often be turned around with a good cleaning and better habits at home. When infection has moved below the gumline, a deep cleaning removes the tartar and bacteria there. After that, regular maintenance visits help keep it from coming back.
