Understanding Gum Disease

Periodontal disease starts to occur when plaque and bacteria build up along your teeth and gumline. If not addressed, it can cause inflammation, infection, and even result in tooth loss. Common symptoms of gum disease include:

  • Gums that are red, swollen or bleed easily
  • Chronic bad breath
  • Gum recession or tooth sensitivity
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Discomfort when chewing

Early detection and intervention are key to stopping the progression of gum disease. Our team works closely with each patient to provide an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.

What Periodontal Treatment Involves

Our dentist and team use modern techniques to treat various stages of periodontal disease. Treatment plans are customized based on the condition’s severity and the patient’s individual needs. In most cases, the goal is to remove bacteria, reduce inflammation to your gums and prevent any further infection or damage.

During your visit, we will examine your gums, measure pocket depths and use advanced imaging to evaluate bone health. Treatment may involve professional cleanings, soft tissue management or surgical interventions in advanced cases. Education and home care guidance are also a vital part of ongoing maintenance.

Long-Term Gum Health and Prevention

Our team provides preventive care and routine monitoring to help patients avoid future complications. Regular cleanings and exams allow us to detect changes early and keep gums strong and healthy.
