Spot and stop early signs of gum disease
Plaque buildup or bacteria below the gums, often due to poor oral hygiene or skipped dental cleanings, can lead to unnoticed gum disease or gingivitis. Many don’t feel pain or discomfort, so it’s important to be aware of the signs of this silent oral health issue.
Key indicators suggesting the need for deep cleaning are:

- Gums receding from the teeth
- Looseness in permanent teeth
