Then you may HAVE or be at RISK of GUM DISEASE!
Gum Disease, otherwise known as Periodontal disease is defined as inflammation of the gums.

Attending to 6 monthly maintenance visits, in conjunction with at home oral hygiene eliminates your risk of developing gum disease.
Causes:
- Smoking or vaping – Smoking or using tobacco products increases the risk of gum infections and hinders the healing process.
- Poor Oral Hygiene -bad brushing and flossing habits.
- Unhealthy diet – Diets high in sugars and carbohydrates contribute to plaque formation, fuelling gum infections.
- Genetics
- Medical conditions such as immune disorders or diabetes
- Medications
Possible Gum disease Treatment:
