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.

Frequently asked questions

Gum Disease treatment Q&A

Our team uses local anesthesia and gentle techniques to make you as comfortable as possible. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during or after treatment.

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.

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.
