Gum disease affects nearly half of all adults over the age of 30 in the United States, and yet many of them may not even realize they have it. This is an issue because when gum disease is allowed to reach its most advanced stages, it can easily lead to tooth loss and become very difficult to manage. If you have swollen or bleeding gums, call Southwest Dental immediately; Dr. R can quickly determine whether you have gum disease and arrange for appropriate gum disease treatment at our Rio Rancho, NM dental office to stop it from growing any worse.
