Periodontal Care
Healthy gums provide the foundation for healthy teeth. Gum disease can cause inflammation, bleeding, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss if it progresses.
We evaluate your gum health during routine visits and recommend care based on what we find.
Common questions
- Why do my gums bleed when I brush or floss?
- Bleeding can be a sign of inflammation, often related to plaque buildup or gum disease. Persistent bleeding should be evaluated rather than ignored.
- What is periodontal disease?
- Periodontal disease is an infection and inflammatory condition affecting the gums and supporting structures around the teeth. As it progresses, it can result in loss of the bone supporting the teeth.
