About Gum Disease & Periodontal Care

Gum disease starts quietly, often with nothing more than mild bleeding when you brush. Left untreated, it can progress from gingivitis to periodontitis, damaging the bone and tissue that hold your teeth in place. Our dental team focuses on catching gum problems early and treating them before they cause permanent damage, protecting both your smile and your overall health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the first signs of gum disease?
Early gum disease, known as gingivitis, usually shows up as red, swollen gums that bleed when you brush or floss. You may also notice persistent bad breath or gums that feel slightly tender.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Gingivitis, the early stage, is fully reversible with professional cleaning and better home care. More advanced periodontitis cannot be fully reversed but can be effectively managed with deep cleaning and ongoing maintenance.
What causes chronic bad breath?
Chronic bad breath is most often caused by bacteria on the tongue, gum disease, or untreated tooth decay. A thorough exam can identify and treat the underlying cause rather than just masking the smell.
How often do I need scaling and root planing?
This depends on the severity of your gum disease and is determined after your assessment. Some patients need a one time deep cleaning, while others benefit from ongoing maintenance visits every 3 to 4 months.
Does insurance cover gum disease treatment?
Many insurance plans cover a portion of periodontal treatment, including scaling and root planing. We direct bill your insurance and help you understand your coverage before treatment begins.
