Gum Disease Q & A

 

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, begins as gingivitis, characterized by red, swollen, or bleeding gums. If untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, causing gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss. Gum disease has also been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other health concerns.

Benefits of Gum Disease Treatment

Treatment prevents progression of disease, restores gum health, reduces inflammation and bleeding, preserves teeth, and improves overall oral health. Early intervention improves outcomes and reduces long-term complications.

Gum Disease Treatment Options

Our services include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antibacterial rinses, periodontal maintenance visits, and in severe cases, surgical intervention to repair gum and bone tissue. We also provide education on proper brushing, flossing, and home care techniques.
