Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a degenerative condition caused by bacteria found in plaque. These bacteria inflame and infect the gums, and when left untreated will eventually lead to bone loss, tooth loss and gum recession. Common symptoms of gum disease include:
- Red, swollen or tender gums
- Gums which bleed easily
- Loose teeth
- Pain when chewing
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums
Our dentist and team are committed to helping you enjoy a healthy mouth and smile. If you are diagnosed with gum disease, we will work one-on-one with you to determine the severity of the disease and create a treatment plan that meets your needs. Your treatment plan may include deep dental cleanings, improved at-home oral hygiene, antibiotic treatment, scaling and root planing, or gum surgery. Our dentist and team may also recommend steps you can take to help prevent gum disease from advancing further or to help prevent it from returning in the future following the completion of your treatment.
