What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums surrounding your teeth. It’s one of the most common dental issues and can be caused by a variety of factors, such as poor oral hygiene or hormonal changes. The early stage of gum disease is called gingivitis, and if left untreated, it can progress to more serious forms of the condition.

We provide comprehensive information on the stages and symptoms of gum disease, as well as treatments such as scaling and root planing.

Stages & Symptoms of Gum Disease

Gum disease is a complex condition that exists in multiple stages, making it difficult to diagnose and treat. That’s why it’s important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of gum disease so you can take action early on. 

Common signs and symptoms include swollen or red gums, bleeding during brushing, bad breath, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these signs or symptoms, it’s important to seek treatment from a gum disease expert as soon as possible. 

Gum disease has more than one stage, from gingivitis to periodontal disease. Our team is experienced in diagnosing and treating gum disease at all stages, so you can rest assured that your condition will be properly managed.

Gum Disease Therapy

Gum disease therapy, also known as periodontal therapy, is a comprehensive approach to treating gum disease. It includes a variety of treatments, such as scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar buildup, antibiotics to eliminate bacteria, and a professional cleaning to reduce inflammation. 

  • Scaling is the process of removing plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth using specialized tools during a professional cleaning. 
  • Root planing is a deeper cleaning process that removes more plaque buildup and smoothes the tooth’s root to help prevent future gum disease. 

Gum disease therapy can be an effective way to keep your gums healthy and reduce your risk of developing systemic health issues. By addressing gum disease early, you can take control of your oral health and prevent more serious forms of the condition from developing.
