What is gum disease?
Gum disease can be very destructive if allowed to progress, potentially leading to the loss of teeth and bone. It’s important to prevent gum disease or treat it quickly if detected. Red, swollen, and bleeding gums are early signs.
If caught early, gum disease can be treated by removing plaque and tartar. For advanced cases, our periodontist may recommend procedures like pocket reduction to remove bacteria and secure the gum tissue.
Gum disease can increase the chances of heart disease, stroke, and other health issues. Regular dental checkups are key to maintaining healthy gums. If teeth are lost due to gum disease, dental implants or partial bridges may be recommended.
