Periodontal (Gum) Care

According to MedlinePlus, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health, about 80 percent of U.S. adults have some form of gum disease, ranging from gingivitis to the various forms and stages of periodontitis. The prevalence of gum disease increases with age as our teeth wear down and become more sensitive and our gums naturally recede.

Warning Signs of Gum Disease

If your gums feel tender or sore, or if they look red and swollen, you may have gum disease. Other warning signs include bleeding and/or receding gums, persistent bad breath, pain or sensitivity in your teeth, and even loose teeth caused by weakening gum fibers or bone loss. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and more serious health problems.

Treatment for Gum Disease

If you have any degree of gum disease, we can help. Gum disease used to require surgery more often than not. While surgery is still an option and sometimes necessary, we can now treat many cases with less invasive techniques first, including deep cleanings, local antibiotics, and special mouth rinses.
