- Bleeding, swollen, and/or painful gums
- Spaces or gaps developing between your teeth
- Loose teeth
- Halitosis / bad breath
In addition to our in-office treatments, we offer certain medications for gum disease that are not available over the counter, including an antimicrobial mouthwash and a special toothpaste. There are lots of ways to treat gum disease, but it's important to see us quickly to have the greatest chances at successful treatment.
