What Is Gum Disease

Gum disease (also called periodontal disease) is an infection and inflammation affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It begins mild (gingivitis), but if untreated can progress to more severe forms that damage bone and lead to loose or lost teeth.

Warning Signs You Should Watch For

You may have early gum disease if you notice:

  • Gums that are red, swollen or tender 

  • Gums that bleed easily after brushing or flossing 

  • Persistent bad breath or bad taste in mouth

  • Receding gums (teeth appear longer) 

  • Loose teeth or discomfort when biting

Frequently Asked Questions

Is gum disease reversible?

Early stage disease (gingivitis) can be reversed with proper care. More advanced damage (bone loss, deep pockets) cannot always be completely reversed, but further damage can be stopped

We use local anesthesia or sedation when needed. Mild/moderate cases usually need multiple sessions. Surgical treatments may extend recovery time.

Varies with severity, materials used, whether surgical intervention is required. We will discuss estimated costs before starting treatment.

While some risk factors cannot be changed (genetics, age), many cases are prevented by good home care, avoiding smoking, controlling health issues (diabetes), and regular professional care.
