What are gum diseases?

Gum disease is an infection of the tissues surrounding the teeth — from superficial gingivitis to periodontitis that affects the bone. The main cause is the accumulation of plaque and tartar. Without treatment, it may lead to tooth loss — but early detection and proper treatment stops the progression.

Frequently asked questions about gum disease

Is gingivitis dangerous?

Early gingivitis is reversible. Delay can lead to periodontitis and tooth loss — so early screening is important.

Why do my gums bleed when brushing?

Often due to gingivitis from tartar buildup. Deep cleaning and daily care reduce bleeding within days.

What is deep gum cleaning?

A procedure that removes tartar and plaque from below the gum line — deeper than a routine tooth cleaning. It may be divided into two sessions.

Is gum treatment painful?

We use local anesthesia when needed. Most patients feel only mild pressure, and discomfort decreases after the session.

How often do I need to have my gums examined?

Every 6 months for prevention. Those with a history of gum disease may need visits every 3-4 months.

Can gum recession be reversed?

Premature decline can be stopped. Advanced decline may require additional treatments — evaluation determines options.
