Gum Disease

Gum disease is normally caused by a build up of harmful deposits around the teeth. This can make the teeth feel rough or 'furry' and the deposits can start to grow underneath the gum causing more serious problems.

Along with redness and soreness, bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease. Gum disease can cause destruction of the bone around the teeth which leads to gaps between the teeth and gum recession. The main reason for loose teeth is untreated gum disease which has destroyed the supporting structures of the teeth.

Having all harmful deposits removed will significantly improve the health of the mouth. Left untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss.
