Clean between the teeth before your evening brush—Interdental brushes work really well. Change your toothbrush head every 3 months. If your gums bleed, pay special attention to cleaning around that area and bring it to the attention of your hygienist.

Gum Disease is an infection of the gums. It is caused by plaque, a sticky film that collects on teeth and gums.

When plaque is missed it will cause disease. Red, puffy bleeding gums are all signs of gum disease. Toxins released by bacteria within plaque cause inflammation of the gums.

Gingivitis is a reversible form of gum disease, and Periodontitis displays permanent damage. Both forms can be treated.
