FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth, caused by plaque and tartar buildup. It progresses from gingivitis — inflammation — to periodontitis, where supporting bone is lost. It's the leading cause of adult tooth loss, and it's largely preventable.
Treatment depends on the stage: deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) and ongoing periodontal maintenance can stop the disease and let tissues heal. The key is starting before more bone is lost.
Gingivitis — the early stage — is fully reversible with professional cleaning and good home care. Established periodontitis can't be undone, but it can absolutely be stopped and managed — and with consistent treatment and maintenance, many patients keep their teeth and gums healthy for life.
The bacteria behind gum disease can transfer through saliva — kissing or sharing utensils — but transferring bacteria isn't the same as transmitting the disease. Whether they take hold depends on hygiene and immune response. If your partner has gum disease, it's smart for both of you to be checked.
Watch for bleeding when you brush or floss, red or puffy gums, persistent bad breath, recession, or loose teeth. Early stages are often painless — which is why measurement matters. At every checkup we chart your gum pockets to catch disease before you can feel it.
Yes — research links periodontal disease to heart disease, diabetes, respiratory illness and pregnancy complications. The chronic inflammation in your gums doesn't stay in your mouth. Treating gum disease is one of the most meaningful things you can do for your whole-body health.
