What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic infection that affects the gums and supporting bone. It often begins with gingivitis—red, swollen gums that may bleed when brushing. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
Signs You May Need Periodontal Care
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Gum recession or teeth that appear longer
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Sensitivity or discomfort in the gums
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Early treatment can help stop gum disease before it causes lasting damage.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Can gum disease be cured?
Gingivitis is reversible with professional care and good home hygiene. Advanced gum disease can’t be fully cured but can be managed effectively with regular treatment.
Is periodontal treatment painful?
No. We use gentle techniques and can numb the area if needed. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during deep cleanings.
How often will I need to come in?
After active treatment, we typically recommend maintenance cleanings every 3–4 months to keep gum disease under control.
Does gum disease affect overall health?
Yes. Research links untreated gum disease with heart disease, diabetes, and other health issues. Treating it supports your overall well-being.
