February is Gum Disease Awareness Month.
How do you know if you have gum disease, also known as Periodontal Disease?
Ask yourself...
1. Do my gums bleed after brushing and/or flossing?
2. Do my gums bleed when I bite into an apple?
3. Do I see a pinkish hue in my bathroom sink?
4. Do I have bad breath that doesn't seem to ever go away?
5. Do I get a bad taste in my mouth even after brushing my teeth?
6. Do my teeth hurt when I chew?
If you answer yes to any of the above questions, you likely have some level of gum disease.
Please contact your health care provider for evaluation.
