Gum Disease Therapy

Save Bone & Eradicate Infection & Inflammation

Many patients are unaware that gum disease affects more people than heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, and cancer combined. It is estimated that around 80% of the population has gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, periodontitis (advanced), and gingivitis (mild).

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease occurs when your gums and jaw bone are infected by bacterial toxins found in plaque. If left untreated, these toxins can penetrate the gums causing damage to the jaw bone. Early indications of gum disease include red, sensitive, or inflamed gums or bleeding when you brush your teeth. Schedule an appointment with us today if you are experiencing any of these symptoms. Early detection can allow us to stop the disease from progressing.

How Do I Prevent Gum Disease From Worsening?

In the early stages, control may involve changing your home care habits. If you are diagnosed with gum disease, expect to visit us more often so that Dr. Kiley can monitor your condition and ensure recovery is on track. If the disease does progress, there are non-surgical treatment options. In more advanced cases, surgery or the care of a periodontist may be required.
