Your gums do more than hold your teeth in place, although that is extremely important. Your gums also defend your body from the harmful bacteria that can cause serious issues for your oral and general health. If you are experiencing the symptoms of gum disease, our dentist can help. Dr. Gary M. Leverton and our team provide gum disease treatments in Pontiac, Illinois, and you can contact Gary M. Leverton at 815-844-5993 to plan your visit.
