Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease is a progressive condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It begins as gingivitis, a mild form of gum inflammation caused by plaque buildup. Common signs of gingivitis include redness, swelling and bleeding while brushing or flossing. If left untreated, gingivitis can develop into periodontitis, a more severe stage of gum disease that can lead to gum recession, tooth mobility and even tooth loss.

Dr. Sean McAnarney and our team focus on early detection and effective treatment to prevent further damage and promote long-term oral health. Through thorough evaluations and personalized care plans, we work to manage gum disease at every stage.

Benefits of Gum Disease Treatment

Treating gum disease can improve both oral health and overall wellbeing. Some of the key benefits of seeking timely care include:

  • Reduced gum inflammation and discomfort
  • Prevention of tooth loss and gum recession
  • Fresher breath and improved oral hygiene
  • Lower risk of systemic health issues linked to gum disease, such as heart disease and diabetes

By addressing gum disease early, you can preserve your natural smile and protect your long-term dental health.
