Our skilled team ensures that your gums remain healthy, so you can enjoy a beautiful smile for years to come.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It’s caused by poor oral hygiene, leading to plaque buildup and, if untreated, can result in tooth loss. There are two main types of gum disease:

• Gingivitis: The early stage of gum disease, where gums become swollen and bleed easily.
• Periodontitis: A more severe stage, where gums pull away from the teeth, leading to bone loss and tooth loosening.

Signs of Gum Disease

If you notice any of the following symptoms, it may be time to schedule a gum treatment consultation:

• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Bleeding gums during brushing or flossing
• Persistent bad breath
• Gums pulling away from the teeth
• Loose teeth or shifting teeth

Our Gum Treatment Services

We offer a range of treatments to address gum disease at different stages:

• Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning treatment to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline.
• Gum Surgery: For advanced periodontitis, we offer surgical options to restore gum and bone health.
• Antibiotic Therapy: Topical or oral antibiotics may be used to control bacterial infection.

Preventing Gum Disease

Prevention is the best way to maintain healthy gums. Follow these tips to reduce the risk of gum disease:

• Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
• Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth.
• Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
• Avoid smoking, which increases the risk of gum disease.
