Gum Disease Awareness Month

February is Gum Disease Awareness Month. Gum disease is an infection at the gum tissue caused by plaque and bacteria buildup, resulting in gum inflammation, bleeding and irritation. To help prevent gum disease, brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once daily and have regular checkups with a dental professional. Schedule an appointment with a Delta Dental participating dentist by selecting 'Find a Dentist' on this page.
