Protect Your Smile with Gentle Gum Care

What Is Gum Disease?

Signs of Gum Disease

You may have gum disease if you notice:

  • Bleeding when you brush or floss
  • Puffy, red, or tender gums
  • Receding gums or longer-looking teeth
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Loose teeth or changes in your bite

Early treatment can stop gum disease from progressing—don’t wait until it gets worse.

How We Treat It

Our treatment plans are tailored to your needs and may include:

  • Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing)
  • Antibacterial rinses or medication
  • Ongoing maintenance visits
  • At-home care guidance

We use gentle techniques and advanced tools to remove plaque and bacteria while keeping you as comfortable as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease is caused by plaque buildup along and under the gumline. If not removed, it can lead to inflammation and infection.

Can gum disease be reversed?

Gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease, can often be reversed with professional cleanings and good oral hygiene. More advanced stages require ongoing care.

Is treatment painful?

No. We use gentle techniques and offer options to keep you comfortable throughout your cleaning or deep cleaning appointments.

How is gum disease diagnosed?

We check your gums during your exam and may measure the pockets between your teeth and gums. X-rays can also help us see any bone loss.

What happens if I don’t treat gum disease?

If untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and may increase the risk of other health conditions like heart disease or diabetes.

Will I need surgery?

Most patients do not need surgery. If your case is more advanced, we’ll walk you through your options and refer you to a specialist if needed.

Is gum disease treatment covered by insurance?

Many dental plans cover periodontal treatment. We can help confirm your coverage before your visit.

How can I prevent gum disease at home?

Brush twice a day, floss daily, and come in for regular cleanings. Avoid tobacco and eat a balanced diet to support healthy gums.
