Gum disease: common questions
What are the signs of gum disease?
Bleeding when you brush or floss, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, or loose teeth. If you notice any, get checked — early treatment is simple.
Is gum disease reversible?
Early-stage gingivitis is fully reversible. More advanced periodontitis can be controlled and stabilized so you keep your teeth — the sooner we start, the more we can save.
Is a deep cleaning different from a regular cleaning?
Yes. A regular cleaning polishes above the gumline; a deep cleaning (SRP) treats below it where gum disease lives. We’ll tell you honestly which you need.
Does deep cleaning hurt?
The area is numbed and most patients are comfortable throughout. Any tenderness afterward is mild and short-lived.
