Keeping your mouth and teeth healthy requires diligent maintenance of your teeth and gums.

Left untreated, periodontal disease loosens the connective tissue that keeps your teeth in place.
Patients with advanced gum disease may notice that their teeth feel loose or are shifting around. Additionally, they may suffer from painful periodontal pockets and abscesses. Along with tooth loss and bone deterioration, gum disease has been linked to a number a number of diseases including:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
