What Is Gum Disease?
Both plaque and tartar are substances that can be found on teeth, and both of them harbor bacteria. This bacteria attacks the gums, leading to gum disease.
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums due to the unchecked presence of bacteria in plaque and tartar on the teeth. This disease begins with annoying symptoms that patients often ignore, not realizing that it can lead to serious consequences like tooth loss and health complications.

“The staff is very nice and welcoming. They explain everything, in detail, which I love because I'm very detail oriented. They have always made it a point to make me feel special and ask how I'm doing. The Dr's there are all very gentle and do great dentistry.”
