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
Will treatment hurt or take many visits?
We use local anesthesia or sedation when needed. Mild/moderate cases usually need multiple sessions. Surgical treatments may extend recovery time.
How much does treatment cost?
Varies with severity, materials used, whether surgical intervention is required. We will discuss estimated costs before starting treatment.
Is it possible to prevent gum disease entirely?
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.
