Do you have gum disease?Gum disease is one of the most common dental problems! If left untreated will increase and cause problems. These problems can affect your teeth and jawbone. Severe gum disease is linked to other problems, like diabetes and heart disease. Gum disease is prevalent throughout the U.S. If you have gum disease, you may notice that your gums bleed, irritate or swell up.
MOST IMPORTANT
How Does Gum Disease Form?
Gum disease is primarily caused by plaque and tartar that build up on the gums. These two substances that irritate the gums and cause them to inflame or infect. As the tartar and plaque move under the gum line, they begin to affect your entire mouth. There are two primary types of gum disease, known as gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis, is the first phase of gum disease and is treated easy when caught early. If gingivitis is allowed to progress, turns into periodontitis. This is a severe gum disease and leads to many complications, including bleeding gums, tooth loss, and even bone loss.

TREATMENT
Depending on severity, you may have to do more than one treatment. Multiple treatments help to ensure the disease is completely eliminated. The most common method is root planing and scaling, also known as deep cleaning. If you have severe gum disease, we remove the tartar and plaque buildup from your teeth, around and under your gums, and on the roots. We may also provide you with antibiotics. These are used to kill the infection and disease inside pockets that have formed in your gums.
