Gum Diseases

Gum disease refers to swelling of the gum line that can progress to affect the bone that surround and support your teeth

The three stages of gum disease are:

• Gingivitis
• Periodontitis
• Advanced periodontitis

Gum diseases can be painless, so it is important to be aware of following symptoms:

• Gums that easily bleed while brushing
• Swollen, red or painful gums
• Persistent bad breath or bad taste in mouth
• Loose teeth

• Initial stages of gum diseases like gingivitis can be treated with simple cleaning and polishing.
• Severe gum diseases such as periodontitis and advanced periodontitis may require deep flap curettage and laser treatment.
