Untreated gum disease can lead to serious problems. Your dentist may need to perform surgery to deal with gum and bone damage and loss of teeth.
Key takeaways:
– Early signs of gum disease are bleeding, sore or red gums.
– Brushing and flossing twice daily helps prevent gum disease.
– Severe gum disease has been linked to diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Gum disease can be treated and reversed if caught early, so schedule a check-up with your dentist today.
“On average, treatment of gum disease cost ranges from $500 to $10,000 depending on the type of surgery.”
