Avoid Tooth Loss by Treating Gum Disease

stephenlega • February 1, 2021

You should never ignore bleeding gums. This is one of the first signs of a gum infection, and gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in the United States.

Bad breath, pimple-like bumps, persistent bad breath, changes in how your bite fits together, and loose teeth are symptoms of advanced periodontal disease, and a good reason to visit our office in Columbia, SC.

You can get your mouth back in shape with our gum disease treatment , but it’s better to prevent problems with routine dental visits. Either way, we hope to see you soon.
