What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a progressive infection of the gums caused by bacterial plaque buildup. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, loose teeth, and even systemic health complications such as heart disease and diabetes.
Common symptoms include:
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession or tooth sensitivity
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pain when chewing
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible, but advanced periodontitis requires professional intervention. That’s where we come in.

Periodontal Maintenance
Following treatment, patients with a history of gum disease need more frequent deep cleanings to prevent recurrence. Our periodontal maintenance program is tailored to your condition and typically scheduled every 3–4 months.
Why Gum Health Matters
Your gums do more than hold your teeth in place—they’re your first line of defense against oral and systemic disease. Maintaining healthy gums can:
- Prevent tooth loss and bone deterioration
- Improve breath freshness and oral comfort
- Reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes complications
- Preserve the success of dental implants and restorative dentistry
- Support the longevity of cosmetic treatments like veneers and Invisalign
Gum disease is painless in the early stages—which is why regular exams and dental cleanings are so important.
