Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, begins when plaque and bacteria build up along the gumline, causing inflammation and infection. In its early stage, known as gingivitis, symptoms may include redness, swelling and bleeding gums. If not treated promptly, it can progress to periodontitis, which affects the tissues and bone that support your teeth.Signs you may need gum disease treatment include:
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
  • Receding gums or loose teeth
  • Swollen, tender or discolored gums
  • Changes in bite or tooth alignment

We perform a thorough examination to assess the health of your gums and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Restoring and Maintaining Gum Health

We offer several treatment options for gum disease, depending on the severity of your condition. These may include:
  • Scaling and root planing to remove plaque and smooth root surfaces
  • Antibacterial rinses or localized antibiotic therapy
  • Improved at-home oral hygiene routines and professional guidance
  • Regular periodontal maintenance cleanings

Benefits of timely gum disease treatment include:

  • Reduced risk of tooth loss
  • Healthier gums and fresher breath
  • Prevention of further bone and tissue damage
  • Improved overall oral hygiene and comfort
  • Better long-term dental outcomes

Our dentists and team use modern tools and a gentle approach to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. We also focus on educating patients about prevention strategies to support long-term results and minimize the risk of recurrence.

Gum disease is manageable, especially when detected early. With routine care and personalized treatment, you can preserve your natural teeth and maintain a healthy smile.
