Is Advancing Gum Disease Harming Your Smile?

Have you noticed gum recession or chronic bad breath? Do your gums bleed when brushing or flossing? These may be symptoms of gum (periodontal) disease. Gum disease is caused by oral bacteria. These bacteria elicit a reaction that leads to bone and tooth loss, unless the disease process is stopped.
