Common questions
What causes gum disease?
Most often, plaque and tartar build up along and under the gums. Smoking, some health problems and some medicines raise the risk.
Is it normal if my gums bleed when I floss?
Bleeding often means your gums are swollen. Get it checked so it does not get worse.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Early gum problems often get better with a cleaning and good home care. Worse cases can be controlled with treatment.
How often should I come in?
Your dentist suggests a plan. Some people need cleanings more often than every six months.
