Danger Zone! 5 Signs Of Gum Disease For Pacifica

dental payment plans San Mateo

Here is some important news for San Francisco residents: Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a major cause of tooth loss among adults. Fortunately, this problem is easy to treat if it is caught in the early stages.

So, what should Half Moon Bay, San Mateo, and Daly City dental patients be looking for?

1. Gums that bleed very easily

2. Gums that appear tender, swollen, or very red, or gums that have visible pus in between them when they are pushed

3. Your bite changes or your teeth suddenly don’t seem to fit together

4. Gums that are pulling away from the teeth

5. A bad taste in the mouth or chronic bad breath

Hopefully, you are not experiencing any of these things. If you are not removing plaque between your teeth, however, your gums are at risk. Brushing alone is not enough – make sure you floss daily.

Regular checkups with your San Mateo, Pacifica, or Half Moon Bay area dentist are another essential weapon in the fight against gum disease.
