Gum disease often develops gradually, and early signs are easy to miss. Common warning signs include:
Catching these signs early allows for simpler, less invasive treatment before the condition progresses.
Treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Mild cases (gingivitis) are often reversible with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene, while more advanced periodontitis may require deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), or in some cases, surgical treatment to restore gum and bone health.
Our dental team will explain the extent of gum disease found during your assessment and recommend the least invasive treatment that effectively addresses it.
