Gum Care & Periodontics
Diagnosis and treatment of gum disease, from professional cleaning to deeper treatment below the gum line.
Overview
Gum disease is common and often painless in its early stages, which is why it can go unnoticed. Left untreated, it can loosen teeth and eventually lead to their loss.
Treating gum disease is also an important first step before implants, crowns or orthodontics, because every other treatment depends on healthy gums.
What it can include
Diagnosis & non-surgical care
- Periodontal (gum disease) exam
- Gingivitis treatment
- Scaling and root planing (SRP)
- Antibiotic therapy

- Laser decontamination
Surgical & regenerative care

Common questions about gum care & periodontics
Is bleeding when I brush normal?
No. Bleeding gums are one of the most common early signs of gum disease. It is worth having them checked.
Can gum disease be cured?
Early gum disease (gingivitis) can usually be reversed with professional cleaning and good home care. More advanced gum disease can be controlled with treatment and regular maintenance.
