What are the tell-tale signs of gum disease (gingivitis)?
A. A high percentage of people have gum disease, and most do not know it. In the early stages, gum disease is usually pain-free and doesn’t call attention to its presence, as does the discomfort of tooth decay, and as a result, there aren’t many tell-tale signs to look for. Regular visits to your Okamura dentist for check-ups will include periodontal examinations to check for gum disease, and treatment if required. This is the best way to determine and keep track of the health of your gums.
