Gum disease is one of the most common — and most overlooked — dental problems, and the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Caught early, it’s very treatable.
Watch for bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, or loose teeth. Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible; advanced disease (periodontitis) needs professional treatment.
Treatment may include professional cleaning and scaling, root planing, and laser periodontal therapy — a precise, comfortable approach that targets bacteria below the gumline with less discomfort and faster healing.
Gum health is linked to your overall health, so it’s worth addressing early. Many extended and CDCP plans help cover periodontal care; we’ll verify your coverage for you.
