Gum Care (Periodontics)
Treating the cause of bleeding, swollen and receding gums, so they stay healthy and hold your teeth firmly.
Healthy gums hold healthy teeth
Gum disease starts when plaque and tartar build up along the gum line. The gums become red and swollen and may bleed. This early stage is called gingivitis.
Left untreated, it can become periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth and the bone that supports them is lost. Teeth can loosen over time.
Treatment removes the build-up, including below the gum line, and helps the gums heal. Regular maintenance keeps them healthy.
