Healthy Gums Are the Foundation of a Healthy Smile
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults — and it can affect your overall health if left untreated. Our office provides comprehensive periodontal care in Dallas, TX to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease at every stage.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection of the gums caused by plaque buildup. There are two main stages:
- Gingivitis – Early stage, causing redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. Reversible with proper care.
- Periodontitis – Advanced stage, leading to gum recession, bone loss, and loose teeth if untreated.
Signs You May Need Periodontal Treatment
- Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath or bad taste in the mouth
- Receding gumline
- Loose or shifting teeth
If you notice any of these symptoms, prompt treatment can help prevent tooth loss and further health complications.
