Care for your gums.
Protect what holds your smile.
Gum health is the foundation of lasting teeth. If your gums bleed or feel tender, an evaluation is the place to start.
What gum disease is
Gum disease ranges from early gum inflammation (gingivitis) to more advanced disease affecting the bone that supports teeth. Warning signs can include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, or loose teeth.
How it is treated
Treatment depends on how far the disease has progressed. Options may include a deep cleaning below the gumline, improved home care, medicated rinses, or laser therapy. Your dentist will explain the findings and recommend the appropriate approach.
Maintenance matters
After treatment, regular periodontal maintenance visits help keep the disease from returning. We’ll recommend an interval and show you techniques for cleaning at home.
