Periodontal Treatments

Regain Your Confidence

Gum disease, or gingivitis, is the beginning form of periodontal disease: the inflammation and infection of the gums. Your gums support your teeth, sockets, and ligaments within your mouth. Bacteria and plaque are the most destructive forces when it comes to your gums. Untreated plaque buildup leads to gum disease. During your routine oral examination by our periodontist, if any gum disease is detected by our dentists, they may recommend scaling, root planing or other gum disease treatments.

Gum disease symptoms include:

• Bleeding gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Loss of teeth
• Pain while chewing
• Bright red or red-purple gums
• Tenderness or pain
