We assess the cause of symptoms and select treatment suited to each patient. Gum disease requires ongoing care.
Periodontal disease is a common reason for dental visits. Plaque and calculus are major causes of swollen, bleeding gums.
Plaque is a sticky bacterial film on the tooth surface, while calculus is a hardened deposit containing bacteria and minerals.

Gum disease can begin with mild inflammation and progress into deeper tissues and supporting bone.
It may develop with few symptoms and be advanced by the time pain appears. Early diagnosis and routine care are important.
Deposits and affected tissue below the gum line are removed.
More advanced disease may require surgical access to deeper areas.
Regular maintenance helps reduce recurrence.
