Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common dental condition that affects the gums and the underlying bone that supports your teeth. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to serious complications, including tooth loss.
Common signs and symptoms of gum disease include:
- Bleeding gums
- Red, swollen gums
- Bad breath
- Receding gums
- Loose teeth
Our Roseville dentists offer a variety of periodontal treatments to address gum disease, including:
- Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing): This procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the tooth roots to promote healing.
- Gum grafting: This procedure is used to replace lost gum tissue and restore the appearance of your smile.
- Laser therapy: Laser therapy can be used to treat gum disease and promote healing.
- Antibiotic therapy: In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to treat gum infections.
