Symptoms of Gum Disease
In its earliest stages, gum disease often shows no obvious symptoms, which is why many patients don't discover it until a routine checkup. Even so, there are several telltale signs to watch for, including swelling, bleeding, soreness, persistent bad breath, gum recession, and discomfort while chewing. If any of these sound familiar, don't wait to contact our office so our team can evaluate your situation!
Scaling & Root Planing
Sometimes a standard dental cleaning isn't enough to fully eliminate the bacteria behind gum disease, in which case we may recommend scaling and root planing, commonly known as a deep cleaning. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from around and beneath the gumline, with special attention paid to any periodontal pockets. Our team will then smooth out the tooth roots, making it easier for the gums to reattach securely and lessening the chances of future reinfection.
