Frequently Asked Questions



Q. My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about?

A. It certainly could be. Red, swollen gums that bleed easily, chronic bad breath, and tooth sensitivity are early warning signs of gum disease. Contact us right away for a periodontal analysis if you notice any of these symptoms.

Q. Do I have to floss every day? Is it really that important?

A. Get in the habit of flossing every day, and you’ll be rewarded with a lifetime of healthy, clean smiles. Flossing removes harmful bacteria from around and below the gum line to prevent chronic bad breath, gum disease, and tooth loss.
