Frequently asked questions about gum health

We know that treatments related to gum health can feel complex, so we've answered the most common questions our patients have below.

The most common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or tender gums, and gums that bleed easily when you brush or floss. Persistent bad breath, a bad taste in your mouth, or noticing your teeth feeling loose can be signs of more advanced disease.
The earliest stage, gingivitis, is fully reversible with professional cleaning (hygiene) and improved home care. The advanced stage, periodontitis, is not reversible, but it is treatable and manageable. Our goal is to halt its progression to prevent further bone loss and save your natural teeth.
A regular cleaning, or scale and polish, addresses the surface of the teeth and above the gum line. Root planing is a deeper, non-surgical treatment used for periodontitis. It involves carefully cleaning the root surfaces below the gum line to remove built-up bacteria and tartar, allowing the gums to re-heal.
After treatment for periodontitis, your gums are prone to reinfection. Frequent maintenance appointments (often every three months) are critical to monitoring the condition, removing any new bacteria, and ensuring the disease remains under control to protect your overall dental stability.
