In its early stages gum disease can be reversed with good oral hygiene and professional cleanings. In advanced stages, more intense treatment is needed to manage the condition.
Signs of gum disease are puffy gums, gums that bleed easily, bad breath that won’t go away, and redness or swelling along the gum line. If you see any of these symptoms get in touch with us ASAP.
Prevent gum disease by practicing good oral hygiene, brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. A balanced diet also helps.
Most gum disease treatments like scaling and root planing are painless. For more advanced procedures we have options to make you comfortable including oral sedation.
Left untreated gum disease can progress to more advanced stages and can cause loose teeth, receding gums, and even tooth loss. It can also increase the risk of systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
