Gum Disease Treatment

Gum Treatment (Periodontal Treatment)

Healthy Gums, Healthy Smile

Healthy gums are the foundation of strong teeth. Gum disease is a common condition caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria around the teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, and even tooth loss. Early diagnosis and treatment help preserve your natural teeth and restore gum health.

Signs You May Need Gum Treatment

• Bleeding while brushing or flossing

• Swollen, red, or tender gums

• Persistent bad breath

• Receding gums or teeth appearing longer

• Loose or shifting teeth

• Pain while chewing

• Pus around the gums
