Have you noticed no matter how many times you brush your teeth, swish your mouth with mouthwash, or chew a piece of minty gum, you can’t seem to get fresh breath? Not only is it embarrassing to interact with your peers and colleagues, but it’s actually a health concern. Your Midlothian dentist may be able to help you unveil the culprit: gum disease. It’s important to understand that for one—it’s not uncommon and you’re not alone. Secondly, although just about half of American adults have it, it is a serious dental issue that needs to be addressed. And most importantly, gum disease is not only preventable but can be treated with the dental services Long Family Dental office offers to our patients.
