Gum disease is painless for a long time, which is why it’s easy to ignore. Left alone, it slowly destroys the bone that holds teeth in place. Caught early, it’s very treatable.
Is it right for you?
Gum care usually helps with:
- Gums that bleed when you brush
- Bad breath that doesn’t go away
- Gums that look puffy, red or are pulling back
- Teeth that feel slightly loose
