Periodontal disease, commonly referred to as gum disease, is a degenerative condition largely caused by bacteria present in dental plaque. This bacteria instigates inflammation and infection of the gum tissues, and if left untreated, it can cause the gums to gradually detach from the teeth. Untreated gum disease can eventually lead to bone loss, tooth loss, and gum tissue recession.

Signs that you may be dealing with periodontal disease include swollen, red, or tender gums, bleeding gums, especially during brushing or flossing, loose teeth, painful chewing, persistent bad breath, and receding gums, making your teeth seem longer than before. Our team of dentists will conduct a thorough examination at our office to determine whether you’re suffering from periodontal disease.

Treatment for gum disease is tailored to your specific needs and largely depends on the severity of the condition. Our dentists may recommend a range of treatments including additional professional dental cleanings, enhancements to your at-home oral hygiene routine, antibiotic treatment, or more advanced procedures such as scaling and root planing (commonly known as deep cleanings) or even gum surgery. Our primary goal is to help restore your oral health and put a stop to the progression of the disease.
