Have you noticed your gums becoming swollen, red, or receding? Do they bleed when you brush? If so, you may be suffering from gum disease, which is a major factor in adult tooth loss. Healthy gums are an important part of great oral health, and a periodontal screening is vital to assessing your current gum health. If you have moderate gum disease, we may prescribe ARESTIN, a local anti-microbial medicine which will kill harmful plaque bacteria. A beautiful smile begins with health gums!
