Understanding and Treating Gum Disease
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is usually a result of an infection in your gum tissues caused by bacteria in plaque. If the periodontal disease is not treated, your gums can start to move away from your teeth, and you may experience bone and tooth loss.
Symptoms of periodontal disease include swollen, red or bleeding gums, bad breath and loose teeth. It may also be painful to chew, and your teeth may appear to be longer due to receding gums. Our dentists and team will be able to ascertain whether you are experiencing periodontal disease after an examination in our office.
Schedule a Consultation
Possible treatments for periodontal disease include improved oral hygiene at home, additional in-office dental cleanings, deep cleanings known as scaling and planing, antibiotics and gum surgery. Our dentists and team will determine the severity of your periodontal disease and recommend the best treatment to help you stop the disease from progressing and revive your oral health. If you would like to learn more about periodontal treatment, call us today to schedule an appointment with our dentists. We are here to help you achieve improved dental and oral health!
