Gum disease is a common infection that damages the soft tissue and bone that supports your teeth. While there can be several different causes of gum disease the most common cause is build-up of bacterial plaque. When plaque is not removed then over time it can build-up and harden. Typically gum disease can easily be prevented with regular check-ups with your local dentist. Dr. Cohen recommends that patients receive two dental cleanings and check-ups each year.

Gum disease can often be sneaky and symptom-less, but there are a few signs to look out for such as:

•Bleeding gums
•Tender gums
•Red gums
•Chronic bad breath
