Bleeding Gums - Modesto, CA

If you have chronic, unexplained bad breath or bleeding gums, you may already be suffering from gum disease.By brushing and flossing your teeth you might avoid these problems, but if they are occurring despite your dental hygiene routine, have your gums examined. If we catch gingivitis at an early stage, it can usually be treated and reversed. Untreated, gingivitis can lead to a more stage sate of gum disease call periodontitis. This is where you develop “deep pockets” between your teeth and gums. Ultimately, this can lead to tooth loss. Advanced oral infection can affect other systemic health issues that you may have.
