My gums are red and swollen. Do I have gum disease?

You could. Swollen, red gums are a common sign of the early stage of gum disease called gingivitis. At this point, gum disease is relatively easy and simple to resolve. If you wait to get treatment, it could advance and cause gum recession, damage your jaw bone, and eventually lead to tooth loss. Regardless of the stage of your gum disease currently, you can seek treatment with Dr. Rasmussen, who has advanced training and the most innovative technology to help you overcome gum disease and regain your oral health.
