Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It's typically caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque to build up and harden on teeth.
Stages of Gum Disease
Gingivitis (Early Stage)
The mildest form of gum disease. Gums become red, swollen, and bleed easily. At this stage, the disease is reversible with professional treatment and good oral hygiene.
Periodontitis (Advanced Stage)
If gingivitis is untreated, it advances to periodontitis. Gums pull away from teeth, forming pockets that become infected. Bone and connective tissue begin to break down. Without treatment, teeth may become loose and need removal.
Our Gum Treatment Services
Professional Cleaning
Regular professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing can't reach. Essential for preventing and managing gum disease.
Scaling & Root Planing
Deep cleaning procedure that removes tartar from below the gum line and smooths root surfaces. This helps gums reattach to teeth and reduces pocket depth.
Antibiotic Therapy
Topical or oral antibiotics to help control bacterial infection. May be used alone or in combination with scaling and root planing.
Flap Surgery
Gums are lifted to remove tartar deposits in deep pockets. Gum tissue is then sutured back in place to fit snugly around teeth.
Bone Grafting
When periodontitis has destroyed bone, grafts help regenerate lost bone and provide support for teeth. Uses natural or synthetic bone material.
Gum Grafting
Tissue taken from palate or donor source is used to cover exposed roots and restore gum tissue lost to recession.
Laser Gum Treatment
Minimally invasive laser therapy to remove diseased tissue and bacteria. Promotes faster healing with less discomfort than traditional surgery.
