PAY ATTENTION TO CHANGES IN YOUR GUMS
Gum Disease in Toronto
What Is
Gum Disease?
Gum disease develops when plaque and bacteria contribute to inflammation of the tissues surrounding the teeth. Early gum inflammation may cause redness, swelling, tenderness, or bleeding. If the condition progresses, deeper supporting tissues around the teeth can become affected.
Gum disease does not always cause significant pain in its earlier stages.
At Beach Dental in Toronto, your dentist can examine your gums, check for signs of inflammation, and assess whether changes in your gum health require attention.

oral health concern.
