What Is a Dental Implant

Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is caused by bacteria that build up along and below the gum line. This condition exists in more than one form of gum disease, and without proper care, it can damage the gums, bone, and supporting structures of the teeth.

There are two main stages:

  • Gingivitis – the early stages, often marked by bleeding gums and inflammation, and typically reversible
  • Periodontitis – a more advanced form that may cause bone loss and loose teeth


Early diagnosis and timely care help treat gum disease before permanent damage occurs.

Our Gum Disease Treatments

We offer a range of gum disease treatments based on the severity of the condition and your individual needs. Your dentist will discuss appropriate treatment options after a full evaluation.

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and Root Planing

This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and bacteria from below the gum line and smooths the roots of the teeth. It is one of the most common treatments gum disease patients receive in mild to moderate cases.

Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal Maintenance

For patients with a history of gum disease, periodontal maintenance cleanings help control bacteria and reduce the risk of reinfection. These visits are often scheduled more frequently than routine cleanings.

Targeted Therapy and Monitoring

Targeted Therapy and Monitoring

In certain cases, localized therapies may be recommended to support healing and control infection. Ongoing monitoring ensures treatment remains effective over time.

Why Early Treatment Matters
