Did you know that smoking is the most significant factor for gum disease? In fact, smoking can even jeopardize the success of any treatment you receive.

If you have red, swollen gums that bleed easily when you brushing, you may have gingivitis. Gingivitis doesn't usually cause too much discomfort, but if left untreated it can lead to a more serious condition called periodontitis.

Did you know that periodontists are specially trained dentists who continue their training at least three years after graduating from dental school? There are a wide variety of conditions and treatments available that are connected with gum disease.

Did you know that around 30 percent of the population will develop gum disease simply because they are genetically disposed to it? If periodontal disease runs in your family, it’s recommended you see your periodontist early on to develop some preventative strategies.
