Traditional gum disease treatment in Southfield, MI

A very common cause of gum disease is bacteria that live in the space between your teeth and gums. This causes infection and weakens the attachment between your tooth and the gum creating what’s known as a pocket. This makes the tooth vulnerable to more bacteria, decay, bone loss and eventually tooth loss. Often times, people don’t they know they have gum disease since it might not be painful and is often referred to as the other Silent Killer.
