Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums that can lead to tooth loss if untreated. Symptoms of gum disease include swollen, bleeding gums, bad breath, and loose teeth.
Our Treatment Approach

- Antibiotic Therapy: Medications to eliminate infection and reduce bacteria levels.
- Surgical Treatments: In advanced cases, flap surgery or bone grafts may be necessary to restore gum health.

What causes gum disease?
Gum disease is primarily caused by poor oral hygiene, which leads to plaque buildup. Other factors include smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes, and genetic susceptibility. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene can help prevent gum disease.

Can gum disease be reversed?
In its early stages (gingivitis), gum disease can be reversed with proper dental care and improved oral hygiene. However, more advanced stages (periodontitis) require professional treatment to manage and prevent further progression. Early detection and treatment are crucial for successful outcomes.
