Healthy Gums Are The Support System For Healthy Teeth

Gum disease can progress quietly and impact both oral and overall health. We focus on early detection, thorough non-surgical treatment when needed, and maintenance visits that help keep inflammation under control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about periodontal therapy

Common signs include bleeding when brushing or flossing, bad breath, gum tenderness, recession, and loose teeth. Some people have few symptoms—regular exams help catch it early.

It’s a deep-cleaning treatment that removes plaque and tartar below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces to help gums heal and reattach.

Many patients benefit from maintenance visits every 3–4 months after active treatment, but we’ll tailor frequency based on your gum health and risk factors.
