Understanding Periodontal Care
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a progressive condition caused by bacterial plaque. It can begin as mild inflammation (gingivitis) and progress to more severe stages that may lead to bone loss or tooth loss if left untreated. Symptoms may include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession and loose teeth.
During a periodontal evaluation, our dentist will assess the health of your gums, measure pocket depths around each tooth and use imaging if needed. If signs of gum disease are present, we discuss treatment options and create a plan based on the severity of the condition.
Treatment may involve non-surgical methods such as scaling and root planing, or more advanced procedures to address deep pockets or damaged tissue. Our team also provides education on proper home care techniques and habits that support long-term gum health.
Supporting Oral and Overall Wellness
Research continues to show a strong connection between periodontal health and overall health. Untreated gum disease has been linked to systemic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and respiratory issues. Addressing periodontal concerns early supports better health outcomes across the board.
Our dentist and team are committed to providing clear explanations, consistent follow-up and care that fits each patient’s needs. We aim to help you maintain healthy gums with personalized, ongoing support that evolves with your oral health status.
