What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It begins with plaque buildup and can progress to damage the gums and jawbone if left untreated.

There are three main stages of gum disease:

• Gingivitis – Early stage with red, swollen, or bleeding gums

• Mild to Moderate Periodontitis – Gums begin to pull away from the teeth, forming pockets

• Advanced Periodontitis – Severe gum and bone loss that can lead to tooth loss

Signs You May Need Periodontal Treatment

Why Periodontal Health Matters

• Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing

• Red, swollen, or tender gums

• Receding gums or teeth that look “longer”

• Persistent bad breath or bad taste

• Loose teeth or changes in bite

• Pain when chewing or sensitivity

Gum disease doesn’t just affect your mouth—it’s been linked to systemic health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Treating gum disease early helps protect both your smile and your overall well-being.

We offer a full range of non-surgical periodontal treatments, including:

• Periodontal Exams – Gum measurements and diagnostic imaging to detect signs of gum disease

• Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning) – Removes plaque and tartar below the gumline to promote healing

• Antibiotic Therapy – Localized treatment to control infection and inflammation

• Gum Maintenance Programs – Regular cleanings and monitoring for patients with a history of gum disease

In cases of severe periodontitis, we may refer you to a trusted periodontist for advanced surgical care.
