A: Gum disease is an infection that damages the soft tissues around the teeth (gums). In severe cases it can also damage the bone holding the teeth in place. Causing teeth to become wobbly & even fall out! 
It is caused by poor oral health and lack of flossing. Factors that increase the risk of gum disease are smoking, vaping, pregnancy, and more! 
The signs & symptoms of irritated gums/gum disease are swollen puffy red gums, they easily bleed when brushing, bad breathe, painful chewing and new spaces that develop between the teeth or receding gums! 
We recommend a professional clean from your dentist every 6 months, daily flossing, & brushing every day and night. Make sure to brush those gums lightly too!
