What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease affects nearly half of adults over 30 in the Bloomingdale area. Also called periodontal disease, it's a bacterial infection that destroys the tissues supporting your teeth. Without treatment, it leads to tooth loss and increases your risk of heart disease, diabetes complications, and stroke.
The good news: Gum disease is completely preventable and treatable when caught early.
