What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease starts when harmful bacteria in plaque and tartar irritate the gum tissue. In the earliest stage, gingivitis, you may notice bleeding, swelling, or redness. If the condition progresses into periodontitis, the bacteria cause deeper pockets to form between your gums and teeth, leading to bone loss and greater oral health risk.
Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
Tender, swollen, or receding gums
Persistent bad breath
Loose or shifting teeth
Early intervention makes treatment more effective and prevents more serious complications.

Patient Reviews
I have been a patient at this dental practice for over 25 years. Although the practice has new ownership, most of the staff continue to work in the practice along side the new dentists. All of these folks are truly exceptional, caring and dedicated to their work. The practice remains at the cutting edge in the use of refined technologies that are more effective and limit patient discomfort. I strongly recommend this practice.

Frequently asked questions
Gum Disease treatment Q&A
Will treatment hurt?
Our team uses local anesthesia and gentle techniques to make you as comfortable as possible. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during or after treatment.
Is gum disease treatable?
Yes! Early gum disease can often be reversed with professional care and good home hygiene. Periodontitis (advanced gum disease) can’t be cured, but its progression can be halted and managed with treatment.
What causes gum disease?
Gum disease is primarily caused by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that builds up on the teeth. When plaque isn’t removed, it hardens into tartar, which irritates the gum tissue and leads to infection.
Smoking, genetics, medical conditions like diabetes, and poor oral hygiene can also increase your risk.
