What To Expect
Gum disease begins quietly, some bleeding, mild puffiness, a little sensitivity, and progresses without pain until it no longer does. Left untreated, it breaks down the bone and tissue that hold teeth in place. Treated early, it’s highly manageable.
What We Offer
- Periodontal evaluation at every exam
- Scaling and root planing for active gum disease
- Ongoing periodontal maintenance for patients with a history of gum disease
- Antibiotic therapy where appropriate
FAQ
common questions
How do I know if I have gum disease?
Common early signs include bleeding when brushing, puffiness, or sensitivity. A periodontal evaluation at your exam will confirm.
Is gum disease reversible?
Early-stage gum disease is very manageable. More advanced cases are treatable but require ongoing maintenance rather than a single fix.
What is scaling and root planing?
A deep cleaning that removes buildup below the gumline, used for active gum disease rather than routine maintenance.
How often will I need periodontal maintenance?
This depends on your history and current condition — we’ll set a schedule together after your evaluation.
