February is Gum Disease Awareness Month

Bleeding when you brush is not normal. Eighty-five percent of American adults have gum disease. Symptoms can be so mild that you may not know you have it. If left untreated, gum disease has been linked to stroke, heart disease, certain cancers, even stillbirth. Consequences are serious, but gum disease is treatable in every patient.
