Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common oral health issue that can significantly affect your overall wellbeing if left untreated. Our experienced dentists and team understand the importance of maintaining healthy gums, and we are here to help you every step of the way. Dr. Anuradha Beri, Dr. Ranmeek Kaur and Dr. Pawneet Khangura offer comprehensive gum disease treatment to restore and maintain your oral health.
Gum disease is caused by the accumulation of plaque and tartar on your teeth. These substances harbor bacteria that irritate and inflame the gums, leading to gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease. If not addressed promptly, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of the disease that can result in tooth loss and other serious health problems.
You might notice symptoms such as red, swollen or tender gums, bleeding during brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath or even loose teeth. If you experience any of these signs, it is crucial to seek professional dental care. Our dentists will conduct a thorough examination to assess the severity of your gum disease and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Treatment for gum disease typically starts with nonsurgical options. These may include professional dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, scaling and root planing to deep-clean the pockets between your teeth and gums and antibiotic therapy to reduce infection. In more advanced cases, surgical interventions such as gum grafts or flap surgery may be necessary to restore gum health.
