Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a degenerative condition caused by bacteria in plaque. These bacteria inflame and infect gum tissues, and if left untreated, the gums may pull away from the teeth. Untreated periodontal disease can lead to bone loss, tooth loss, and gum tissue recession.

Symptoms of gum disease may include:

  • Swollen, red, or tender gums
  • Gums that bleed easily
  • Loose teeth
  • Painful chewing
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Receding gums making teeth appear longer than normal

After a thorough exam, our dentists will determine the best treatment for your specific needs. Options may include additional professional dental cleanings, improved at-home oral hygiene, antibiotics, scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), or gum surgery. Our goal is to restore your oral health and halt the progression of the disease.
