What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a common but serious condition caused by plaque and bacteria buildup along the gumline. It often begins silently and can progress without pain until significant damage occurs.
Stages of gum disease include:
- Gingivitis: Red, swollen, bleeding gums (reversible with treatment)
- Periodontitis: Infection spreads below the gumline, leading to bone loss
- Advanced Periodontitis: Tooth loosening, gum recession, and possible tooth loss
Signs You May Have Gum Disease
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession or “longer-looking” teeth
- Loose teeth or changes in bite
Our Gum Disease Prevention & Treatment Services
Preventive Gum Care
Routine dental cleanings and exams help remove plaque and tartar before gum disease develops.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
For early to moderate gum disease, deep cleaning removes bacteria from below the gumline and smooths root surfaces to promote healing.
Periodontal Maintenance
Ongoing care and monitoring help prevent gum disease from returning after treatment.
Gum Health Education
We provide personalized guidance on brushing, flossing, and lifestyle habits to protect your gums long-term.
Advanced Diagnostics & Monitoring
Digital imaging and detailed assessments allow us to track gum health and intervene early.
