What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that affects the tissues surrounding and supporting your teeth. It begins as gingivitis, a mild form of gum inflammation caused by plaque buildup along the gumline. Without proper treatment, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe condition that can damage the soft tissue and bone supporting your teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss.

The good news is that gum disease is preventable and treatable, especially when caught early. Our comprehensive services focus on both treating existing conditions and preventing future complications through personalized care plans.

Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease

Recognizing the early warning signs of gum disease can help you seek treatment before the condition worsens. Common symptoms include:

  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Bleeding during brushing or flossing
  • Persistent bad breath or bad taste
  • Receding gums or teeth appearing longer
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Changes in your bite
  • Pus between teeth and gums

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait to schedule an evaluation. Early intervention leads to better outcomes and more affordable treatment options.

Each implant type offers unique advantages, and Dr. Messih will recommend the best option based on your oral health, bone density, lifestyle, and treatment goals during your consultation.

Loved being seen at this clinic. I had my first appointment with them today. Everyone from the front dest staff, dental assistants, hygienists through Dr Gulati took such great care of me. Very kind and professional. I appreciated their thoroughness. I especially liked how they are conservative when appropriate for treatment and don’t do procedures that aren’t necessary. They put the patient first. Highly recommend! You’ll be in great, safe, and gentle hands.

I had an emergency and they took me in a jiffy! So happy I found them. Everyone, from the reception, Nicole and Marianna, the assistant Jow Jow, and Dr. Messih, were nothing but kind and professionals. I’m seriously thinking about switching practice. My experience was brief but impactful in the best way possible!
