Restore Healthy Gums and Protect Your Smile
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. If you’ve noticed bleeding, swollen, or tender gums, it may be an early sign of gum disease. At Dentist on Kingsway, we provide personalized gum disease treatment to eliminate infection, reduce inflammation, and help preserve your natural teeth. Early treatment can prevent serious complications and keep your smile healthy for years to come.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and the tissues supporting your teeth. It often begins as gingivitis, causing redness and bleeding, and can progress to periodontitis if left untreated, potentially leading to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss. Regular dental visits help detect and treat the condition before it becomes severe.
Common Signs of Gum Disease
You may benefit from treatment if you experience:
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession or teeth appearing longer
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pain when chewing
- Pus between the teeth and gums
If you notice any of these symptoms, scheduling an evaluation as soon as possible can help prevent further damage.
