Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums that can affect your overall oral health. It starts with plaque buildup on your teeth, which can lead to swollen, bleeding gums. If left untreated, gum disease can progress to more serious issues, including tooth loss. But don’t worry! With the right treatment and care, we can help you restore your gum health and keep your smile shining.
If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, it may be a sign of gum disease.
Healthy gums should be pink and firm. Swelling or redness can indicate inflammation.
Tartar (dental calculus) is hardened plaque that can lead to gum disease by causing inflammation and infection if not removed through professional dental cleaning.
Bad breath that doesn’t go away can be a sign of gum infection.
If your gums seem to be pulling away from your teeth, it may be time to consult with us.
When you come in for gum disease treatment, here’s what you can expect
We’ll start with a thorough examination of your gums and teeth to assess your oral health and identify the level of gum disease.
Our team will perform a deep cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planing. This involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, helping to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
After treatment, we’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure your gums are healing well. We’re here to support you every step of the way!
We’ll provide you with tips and techniques to maintain good oral hygiene at home, helping you keep your gums healthy and happy.
Make it a habit to brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily to keep plaque at bay.
Drink plenty of water to help wash away food particles and keep your mouth moist.
Avoid sugary snacks and drinks. Opt for a nutritious diet to support your gum health.
Schedule routine visits with us to keep your gums in check and catch any issues early.
Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen gums, bleeding during brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, and loose teeth.
You can prevent gum disease by practicing good oral hygiene, having regular dental check-ups, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco products.
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is often reversible with proper treatment and good oral hygiene. However, advanced stages (periodontitis) may require more extensive treatment and management.
The duration of treatment varies based on the severity of the gum disease. Non-surgical treatments may take a few visits, while surgical options may require more time for recovery.
