Frequently Asked Questions About Periodontics

  • What is periodontal disease?

    It’s a chronic infection that damages the gums and bone that support your teeth. It often starts as gingivitis and progresses silently.

  • How do I know if I have gum disease?

    Symptoms include bleeding gums, bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. But early gum disease often has no pain or warning signs.

  • Can gum disease be cured?

    Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, and changes in bite alignment. Sometimes, early stages have no noticeable symptoms, so regular dental exams are crucial.

  • What’s the difference between a dental cleaning and periodontal maintenance?

    A standard cleaning removes plaque above the gumline. Periodontal maintenance goes deeper, targeting bacteria beneath the gums to prevent infection from returning.

  • Do I really need periodontal maintenance every 3 months?

    After initial treatment, periodontal maintenance involves regular, specialized cleanings to keep plaque and tartar from returning below the gumline. It’s vital to prevent recurrence and maintain gum health.
