Periodontal Care

For your teeth to stay healthy, your gums must stay healthy. If we see any signs of gum disease during one of your visits, we will recommend the at-home changes or the periodontal treatment needed to restore your gums to health. 

Watch for these signs of gum problems and call us promptly if you see any of them: 

• Red, swollen spots on your gums 
• Bleeding when you brush or floss  
• Teeth that appear longer because of receding gums 
• Sour or bad breath 
• Any sore spots or pus in your mouth 
• Loosening or shifting teeth 

We can help you recover your gum health by cleaning away plaque hiding under the gums and smoothing away rough areas on the roots of your teeth where bacteria might hide. 

With our assistance, you can recover good gum health which is vital for the preservation of your teeth and your overall health. Call us if you have any questions.
