Signs You May Need Gum Therapy

Gum disease often progresses silently, but there are several signs that may indicate the need for gum therapy:

Red, Swollen, or Tender Gums: Healthy gums should be firm and pink. Swelling or redness is a sign of inflammation, often caused by plaque buildup.‍
Bleeding Gums: If your gums bleed during brushing or flossing, it’s an early sign of gum disease.‍
Receding Gums: If your gums are pulling away from your teeth, exposing more of the tooth or even the tooth root, you may have gum disease.‍
Persistent Bad Breath: Chronic bad breath, even after brushing, may indicate the presence of bacteria and infection in the gums.‍
Loose or Shifting Teeth: Advanced gum disease can cause your teeth to become loose as the supporting bone deteriorates.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule a consultation with Dr. Brett Levin or one of our other expert doctors right away. Early intervention can help prevent further damage and restore your gum health.

Is gum therapy painful?

Gum therapy, especially scaling and root planing, may cause some discomfort, but we use local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure your comfort during the procedure. Afterward, you may experience mild soreness, but this typically subsides within a few days.

How long does it take to see results from gum therapy?

You may start to notice improvements in your gum health within a few weeks after treatment. Your gums will become less red, swollen, and sensitive, and any bleeding should subside as they heal.

How often should I get periodontal maintenance cleanings?

If you’ve been treated for gum disease, we recommend periodontal maintenance cleanings every 3 to 4 months. These cleanings help keep bacteria and plaque under control and prevent the recurrence of gum disease.

Can gum disease be cured?

While early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can be reversed with proper treatment and good oral hygiene, advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can only be managed. With regular gum therapy and maintenance, we can help control the disease and prevent further damage.

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on your teeth and gums. Other risk factors include smoking, poor oral hygiene, genetics, and certain health conditions, such as diabetes.

‍

Can gum disease affect my overall health?

Yes, gum disease has been linked to other serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems. Maintaining good gum health is important for both your oral and overall well-being.
