Understanding Gum Disease and Its Treatment

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It typically develops from poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—to build up on the teeth and harden. Without proper treatment, gum disease can cause sore, bleeding gums, painful chewing problems, and even tooth loss. You might need gum disease treatment if you experience:

• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Bleeding while brushing or flossing
• Receding gumline
• Persistent bad breath
• Loose or separating teeth
• Pus between your gums and teeth
• Changes in how teeth fit together when biting

Early intervention is crucial for successful treatment. The sooner we address gum disease, the less invasive and more effective the treatment will be. Our team at Ralph McDonald is committed to providing gentle, thorough care to restore your gum health and protect your smile.
