In this video, Dr. Diane Hines explains the common symptoms of gum disease and the importance of regular checkups.
There are several symptoms of gum disease (periodontal disease). These can include swollen gums, abscesses, bad breath, and shifting teeth.
The best way to prevent gum disease is with regular dental visits every six months, where we can monitor your gum health and catch early signs of trouble. If bone loss is detected in the beginning stages, we can treat it promptly. One option is placing a localized antibiotic directly beneath the gums to target the affected area and help stop the progression of periodontal disease.

A gap in your smile affects more than just your appearance. Over time, missing teeth may affect your ability to eat and speak clearly, as well as the quality of your jawbone. Because natural teeth have roots that stimulate your bone, losing teeth causes your jaw to go unstimulated. Gradually, your jawbone will resorb, or lose mass and volume, [...]

Floating dentures are loose denture prosthetics that won’t stay still in your mouth. Rather than resting securely on your jaw, these dentures float around on your gums, shifting with every bite you take. Unfortunately, most traditional dentures loosen over time.
