Gum disease

Gum disease (periodontal disease) begins with gingivitis, when plaque buildup causes gums to become red, swollen, or bleed.

Without treatment, it can progress to periodontitis, causing gum recession, bone loss, loose teeth, and bad breath.

Risk factors include inadequate brushing/flossing, smoking, hormonal changes, diabetes, and genetics. Treatment includes scaling and root planing, deep cleaning, antimicrobial rinses, and ongoing maintenance cleanings.

With early diagnosis and consistent care, we can halt progression and help you regain healthy gums.
