Like cavities, gum disease is caused by bacteria in your mouth. If it gets below your gumline, it can create “pockets” where even more bacteria collects. The resulting infection threatens teeth and bone and leads to inflammation that affects your immune system.
While you’ll experience discomfort, bleeding gums, and other unpleasant symptoms in the disease’s early stages, you’ll avoid tooth loss and other more serious problems with early-stage treatment. This is why your dentist pays special attention to gums during your dental exams. If she sees any signs of disease, she will treat it with:
We’ll numb your mouth prior to treatment, but you can also receive dental sedation if you’re worried about discomfort.

Gum disease treatment is designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and under your gumline. Your hygienist or dentist will use special instruments to carefully remove bacteria from your mouth. We will also administer a prescription antibiotic rinse that further helps eliminate bacteria that can cause gum disease.
You should not feel any discomfort during your gum disease treatment. Our team will thoroughly numb your gums before we get started so that you don’t feel anything. Plus, we offer sedation if you’re nervous about your gum disease treatment. Ask us about oral sedation using a small pill.
One symptom that many people notice is gums that bleed when brushing. Other symptoms include gums that look swollen and/or bright red, gums that feel tender, and bad breath that won’t go away. It’s important to seek attention right away when you notice these symptoms. As with many dental problems, it is easier and less expensive to treat gum disease in its early stages.
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that build ups around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating “pockets” where more bacteria accumulates. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and possibly fall out.
