Frequently Asked Questions

Contact
What are the signs that I might need periodontal care?

Bleeding gums, chronic bad breath, gum tenderness, and teeth that feel loose are common warning signs. If you notice any of these, it’s important to schedule a visit.

How is gum disease treated?

Treatment depends on how advanced it is. Early stages may only require a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) and improved home care. More advanced cases may require ongoing maintenance or surgical options.

Can gum disease be cured?

Early gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed with treatment and good oral hygiene. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can’t be cured, but it can be managed to protect your teeth and gums long term.
