Periodontics
Gum disease treatment
Treatment for gingivitis or periodontitis — gum inflammation that, left untreated, can lead to tooth loss.
Common symptoms
- Red, swollen or tender gums
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Gums pulling away from teeth
What it involves
Deep cleaning to remove buildup below the gumline, sometimes followed by further treatment for more advanced cases.
What to expect
Gingivitis is fully reversible with treatment and good hygiene; periodontitis needs ongoing maintenance to control.
