What are the warning signs of gum disease?

Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose or shifting teeth, and pain when chewing are common warning signs that should be assessed promptly.

How is gum disease treated?

Mild gingivitis often responds to professional cleaning. Moderate cases need scaling and root planing (deep cleaning). Advanced cases may require laser gum therapy or periodontal surgery, depending on severity.

Why shouldn't I ignore bleeding gums?

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. It is largely preventable and treatable when caught early — late-stage disease is far more complex to treat.

Treatment Options

Professional Cleaning

Mild (Gingivitis)

Removes plaque and tartar above and below the gumline. Often sufficient for early-stage gingivitis.

Scaling & Root Planing

Moderate (Periodontitis)

Deep cleaning that removes deposits from root surfaces and smooths them to discourage bacterial reattachment.

Laser Gum Therapy

Advanced cases

Soft tissue laser precisely removes infected tissue with minimal bleeding, faster healing, and excellent precision.

Periodontal Surgery

Severe cases

When deep pockets need direct access for thorough debridement and reshaping of bone support.
