What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and the supporting structures around your teeth. It typically begins as gingivitis, causing redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. Without treatment, it can progress to periodontitis, leading to gum recession, bone loss, loose teeth, and even tooth loss.
Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to preserving your natural teeth and maintaining healthy gums.
Signs You May Need Periodontal Treatment
You should schedule an examination if you experience:
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pain while chewing
- Pus around the gumline
- Changes in your bite
- Tooth sensitivity caused by exposed roots
Even mild symptoms can indicate the early stages of gum disease, making routine dental examinations essential.
Causes of Gum Disease
Several factors can increase your risk of developing periodontal disease, including:
- Poor oral hygiene
- Plaque and tartar buildup
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Diabetes
- Hormonal changes
- Certain medications
- Dry mouth
- Family history of gum disease
- Teeth grinding or clenching
Our dentists will evaluate your oral health and identify the factors contributing to your condition before recommending the most appropriate treatment.

Gingivitis can often be reversed with professional treatment and improved oral hygiene. While periodontitis cannot be completely reversed, it can usually be managed successfully with ongoing periodontal care.
Patients with a history of gum disease are often recommended to have periodontal maintenance every three to four months, depending on their individual needs.
