Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease is a common oral health concern that progresses through stages. The condition starts with gingivitis, characterized by inflammation and bleeding gums when brushing or flossing. Without intervention, it can advance to more severe stages and impact the supporting structures of your teeth. Advanced periodontal disease can lead to painful, swollen gums, gum recession, and even tooth loss. Our team is here to guide you through each stage, ensuring personalized care for a healthier smile.

Symptoms of Gum Disease & Gingivitis

Recognizing the symptoms of gum disease and intervening early can make a large impact on your oral health. Gingivitis can often be reversed with simple care, but advanced periodontal disease may only be managed to prevent progression. Here are several of the most common gum disease symptoms to be aware of:

Bleeding Gums: Noticeable blood when brushing or flossing.
Swollen or Tender Gums: Inflammation or tenderness, signaling potential gum issues.
Persistent Bad Breath: Chronic halitosis may indicate underlying gum disease.
Receding Gums: Gums pulling away from the teeth, exposing tooth roots.
Tooth Discoloration: Dark spots appearing on teeth that don’t go away.
Increased Sensitivity: Tooth pain or sensitivity to temperature changes.
Changes in Tooth Alignment: Shifting or loosening of teeth.

A Fresh Start with Gum Therapy

Give your mouth a new beginning with our comprehensive gum therapy treatments. For minor gum disease and gingivitis, better at-home care and a basic dental cleaning help reverse the symptoms. For advanced gum disease, we may recommend a more thorough periodontal cleaning. Scaling and root planing (SRP), also called deep dental cleanings, target bacteria beyond the gumline to promote a healthier oral structure and encourage gum reattachment.

Our skilled team employs targeted approaches to eliminate infection, reduce inflammation, and restore your gums to optimal health. Your personalized treatment plan ensures effective care tailored to your specific needs with comprehensive gum therapy.
