Understanding Gum Disease

When we examine our patients’ gums, we often discover early signs of disease they didn’t notice. Look out for these warning signals:

  • Your gums bleed when you eat crunchy foods or brush your teeth.
  • You’ve noticed your breath isn’t fresh, even right after brushing.
  • Some teeth look longer than they used to because your gums are shrinking.
  • Your gums feel tender or look redder than normal.

Smart Prevention Strategies

We know preventing gum disease is easier than treating it. Here’s what we tell our patients:

  • Think of brushing as a mini-massage for your gums — gentle circles work best
  • Keep dental floss everywhere — your desk, car, and bathroom — so you never skip it
  • Schedule regular cleanings with us to catch problems early
  • Choose water instead of sugary drinks when possible

Advanced Treatment Options

When we spot gum disease, we offer several effective treatments:

  • Scaling and root planing — our gentle deep-cleaning process that removes bacteria and buildup under your gums
  • Topical antibiotics that target infection-causing bacteria directly
  • Professional irrigation to flush out harmful bacteria
  • State-of-the-art laser therapy that promotes healing with minimal discomfort
