Understanding Gum Disease (Periodontitis)

Gum disease starts as gingivitis (inflammation) and, if untreated, progresses to periodontitis—the leading cause of adult tooth loss. Chronic gum infection can destroy the bone supporting your teeth. We provide advanced periodontal treatments including scaling, root planing, and laser gum therapy to eliminate bacteria, stop bleeding, and regenerate healthy tissue. Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy body — periodontal disease is linked to diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Gum Disease (Periodontitis)

  • Bleeding gums when brushing
  • Receding gum line
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Loose teeth
  • Swollen or tender gums
