It’s important to react to gum disease by seeking treatment sooner rather than later for the sake of your oral health. Also known as periodontal disease, gum disease goes through different stages and is easiest to treat while still in its initial stages. If you are unsure how to treat gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease, we can help.

Gingivitis is a gum infection that causes your gums to become swollen from prolonged bacteria from food not being cleared away every day through oral care. Common signs of gingivitis are gum irritation and even bleeding when touched by your toothbrush or floss.

Fortunately, our team at [practie_name] can take steps to reverse gingivitis by performing timely treatment such as a professional dental cleaning and deep gum cleaning to remove any bacterial deposits below the gum line. Our team’s efforts combined with your new determination to take good care of your smile every day can quickly help you recover from gingivitis and protect your smile from recurring gum disease.
