Stages of Gum Disease

  • Gingivitis (early stage). Inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup. Symptoms include red, swollen, or bleeding gums during brushing. Gingivitis is fully reversible with professional treatment and improved oral hygiene.

  • Periodontitis (moderate stage). The infection spreads below the gumline, forming pockets between the teeth and gums. Bone loss begins. Symptoms include persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose-feeling teeth.

  • Advanced periodontitis. Significant bone and tissue loss. Teeth may shift, loosen, or require extraction. Aggressive treatment is needed to halt progression and save remaining teeth.

How We Treat Gum Disease

  • Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning). The gold-standard non-surgical treatment for periodontal disease. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, while root planing smooths root surfaces to help gums reattach to teeth.

  • LANAP laser therapy. A minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. The LANAP laser selectively removes diseased tissue while promoting regeneration of healthy bone and gum attachment.

  • Periodontal maintenance. After initial treatment, regular maintenance visits every three to four months keep gum disease in check and prevent recurrence.

  • Antibiotic therapy. Locally applied or systemic antibiotics may be used to control bacterial infection in conjunction with mechanical treatment.

Gum Disease and Your Overall Health

Research has established strong links between periodontal disease and several systemic health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, respiratory disease, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Treating gum disease is not only essential for protecting your teeth—it is an investment in your overall health and well-being.
