Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss, yet many people overlook its early signs. At Molldrem Family Dentistry Eden Prairie, we emphasize the importance of early detection and treatment to prevent serious complications. Gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease, can cause red, swollen, and bleeding gums, but with professional cleanings and proper oral care, it can be reversed. If left untreated, it can progress into periodontitis, which can damage the bone structure supporting your teeth. Our expert team offers deep cleanings, scaling and root planing, and personalized treatment plans to combat gum disease effectively. Maintaining good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and a balanced diet plays a crucial role in keeping your gums healthy. If you experience persistent bad breath, gum recession, or tooth sensitivity, don’t ignore the warning signs—schedule an appointment today to protect your smile!
