What You Need to Know About Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection that affects the gums and the bone supporting your teeth. It typically begins when plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—builds up along or beneath the gum line.
In its early stage, known as gingivitis, you may notice symptoms like redness, swelling, or bleeding when brushing. Without treatment, it can progress to periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth and harmful bacteria cause bone damage.
The good news is that with regular dental visits and timely treatment, gum disease can often be managed—and in its early stages, even reversed—helping you maintain a healthy smile.
The Importance of Treating Gum Disease
Gum disease develops when plaque and bacteria build up beneath the gum line. Left untreated, it can cause swelling, bleeding, bad breath, and even bone loss. The good news is that with early care, the damage can be stopped and future problems prevented.
Our gum therapy treatments target areas brushing and flossing can’t reach, thoroughly cleaning below the gum line. We also track your healing progress to ensure your gums stay healthy. Addressing gum disease early not only protects your teeth but also supports your overall well-being, as research shows links between gum health and conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
What Happens During Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease treatment often involves a deep cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing. This treatment removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the tooth roots, allowing your gums to heal and reattach more securely.
To maintain your progress, we may recommend follow-up visits known as periodontal maintenance. These appointments are scheduled more frequently than routine cleanings and are tailored to how your gums respond to treatment, helping prevent the disease from returning.
Maintaining Healthy Gums for the Long Term
Taking care of your gums goes beyond the dental office. Our team provides guidance on daily habits—such as proper brushing, flossing, and using mouth rinses—to help you manage and protect your gum health over time.
If you notice signs like bleeding gums, bad breath, or gum recession, don’t wait. Early intervention can make a significant difference. Schedule your gum health evaluation today and take the first step toward a healthier smile.
