What's the most common cause of tooth loss among adults?

Periodontal (or gum) disease is the most common cause of tooth loss among the adult population

Symptoms of gum disease include:

• Persistent bad breath

• Red, swollen or inflamed gums

• Tender or bleeding gums

• Painful chewing

• Loose teeth

• Sensitive teeth

• Receding gums or teeth that appear longer

If you suffer from any of these symptoms it is best to book an oral health check-up at our Brisbane dental practice as soon as possible.
