Gum health is the foundation of a strong, lasting smile. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition caused by the buildup of plaque—a sticky film of bacteria that accumulates on your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to inflammation, gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss. Fortunately, modern dental care offers effective treatments to restore gum health and protect your smile.
Your gums are just as important as your teeth when it comes to a healthy smile. Through periodontal maintenance—deep cleanings tailored to manage gum disease—we target plaque and tartar beneath the gumline to stop the disease from progressing. Routine evaluations and professional care are key to preserving your gum and bone health long term.
Gum disease can be silent for years, so prevention is critical. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups are your best defenses. With proper hygiene and early intervention, you can avoid the damage caused by advanced periodontal disease and keep your smile strong for life.
