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.

Signs of Gum Disease to Watch For

Changes in your gums should not be ignored, particularly when they persist or become more noticeable. A dental examination can help determine whether symptoms are related to gum disease or another oral health concern.
