Gum Treatment

To optimize gum health, our main goal is to remove plaque, a whitish film that collects where the gums meet the teeth. The mix of food, saliva and bacteria that forms plaque produces an acid that leaks into the gums, eroding the bone that supports your teeth. This is referred to as periodontal disease, which manifests itself in the form of bleeding gums, loose teeth, and sometimes pain.

During your first visit, we’ll perform a general gum assessment, discuss the condition of your gums, and develop a treatment plan if necessary.
