What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common condition involving infection and inflammation of the gums and the structures that support your teeth. It usually develops due to poor oral hygiene, which allows plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, to build up on your teeth. If not removed, plaque hardens into tartar, leading to irritation and infection. Over time, this can cause serious issues, including tooth loss, if left untreated. Signs you may have a gum infection include:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Gums that bleed easily when flossing or brushing
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Formation of deep pockets between your gums and teeth
- Receding Gums
- Pain when chewing
- Changes in how your teeth fit together when biting
Our Periodontal Disease Treatments
We offer various gum disease treatments designed to improve your oral hygiene and maintain your gum health. Every procedure is done with the utmost compassion and respect for you and your well-being. We aim to protect your gums from further damage and help you maintain a healthy, confident smile. Our periodontal disease treatments include:
- Perio Protect: We use custom-fit trays to deliver a medicated solution below the gumline, helping to reduce infection and support the healing process.
- Scaling and Root Planing: This deep cleaning treatment clears plaque and tartar from beneath your gums and smooths the roots to promote gum health.
- Periodontal Maintenance: Regular follow-up visits allow your gums to stay healthier and enable us to monitor your progress, helping prevent further issues from arising.
Our Gum Disease Treatment Process
Our gum disease treatment process begins with a consultation where we assess your oral health and discuss your specific concerns. We then carefully examine the condition of your gums, check for signs of infection, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan. This collaborative approach helps you feel informed and confident about the treatment options.
Once the treatment plan is in place, we begin addressing the underlying issues and focus on promoting healing in your gums. After the initial treatment phase, we schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your care. We aim to support you at every step, helping you maintain and protect your gums and long-term oral health.

Yes, hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy can make your gums more prone to inflammation, a condition known as pregnancy gingivitis. Regular dental care during pregnancy is important.
