Infections In Your Gums Can Spread Beyond Your Mouth
|
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 |

Gum infections are caused by bacteria that accumulate due to poor dental hygiene. The bacteria forms on your teeth and grows down into the space between gums and teeth (the periodontal pocket). These spaces become fertile breeding grounds for bacteria, causing tenderness, inflammation, bleeding, and infection. If you don't get rid of these bacteria, it will spread to other parts beyond your mouth.
