If I get treatment now, can I save my teeth?

Do you have:

• Red, swollen or tender gums
• Receding gums or bad breath
• Loose or shifting teeth from progressive bone loss under the receding gums
• Tooth sensitivity or painful teeth

All the above are warning signs of periodontal disease, a serious infection that if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. The #1 reason adults lose their teeth.
