Signs of Gum Disease

Signs include bleeding gums, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, pus around the gums and sensitivity near the gumline.

Gingivitis vs Periodontitis

Gingivitis is early gum inflammation. Periodontitis is more advanced gum disease affecting the supporting bone and requires careful ongoing management.

Gum Disease Treatment

Treatment may include professional cleaning, deeper periodontal cleaning, oral hygiene coaching, X-rays, gum measurements and maintenance visits.

When to Call Us

Book an appointment if your gums bleed regularly, look swollen, feel tender, or if you notice bad breath, gum recession or loose teeth.

Ongoing Maintenance

Gum health often needs regular review. Your dentist will explain home care, cleaning intervals and whether further periodontal assessment is needed.
