How will I know if I have gum disease?

We evaluate your gums at every cleaning appointment. Dr. Nelson always evaluates their patients for gum disease during their cleaning appointments in their Winston-Salem office. Their entire dental team is trained to evaluate for signs of gum disease.

Other factors that could be signs of gum disease include:

• Bad breath
• Chronically bleeding gums
• Gum recession
• Mobile or loose teeth
• Tobacco use
• Lack of regular dental cleanings
