Is Gum Disease Only a Problem Seniors Face?
|
This Doctor is a true healer!Dr. Bembey is truly a healer. Not one of those Doctors who is in it for the money. You can tell that she loves her job. She actually made it enjoyable, and I don’t normally think of gum surgery as something to enjoy. She is very knowledgeable, and her skills are awesome! She communicates well and tells you small details that really help a lot. And she is there for you if you need her. Most importantly, she saved me from loosing my teeth! This Doctor is a GEM!!! I highly recommend her. -Lynn V., February 2022 Read More Reviews |

As we age, we become more susceptible to health conditions, and gum disease is not an exception. This disease results when harmful mouth bacteria find their way into the gums causing infection. The bacteria irritate the gums, making them red and swollen and more likely to bleed. Gum disease is most common in seniors but can also affect children and teens who do not practice good oral hygiene.
