What is it?

Gums that bleed when brushing, look red or swell are the first sign of inflammation. Left untreated, the inflammation can spread to the bone that holds the teeth and make them loose.

Treatment starts with removing tartar and the deposits below the gum line. In advanced cases further gum procedures may be needed.
