Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease)
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common yet serious condition that can impact oral health. At Hammock Bay Dental, we offer comprehensive gum disease treatments tailored to address all stages of periodontal disease, helping you maintain healthy gums and teeth.
Gum Disease Treatment at Hammock Bay Dental
Periodontal disease, often referred to as gum disease or periodontitis is an infection that affects the gums and the bone supporting your teeth. It’s crucial to seek treatment from a dentist as early as possible to prevent further damage. Healthy gums are vital for strong tooth roots, and untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss. Our gum disease treatments are designed to restore your oral health and protect your smile.

How do you know if you have gum disease?
Recognizing the signs of gum disease early can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes. Common symptoms include red, swollen, bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and receding gums. You may also notice your teeth feeling loose or shifting in position. If you experience any of these symptoms, seeing a dentist for an evaluation is important. We offer thorough assessments and personalized gum disease treatments to help you regain and maintain healthy gums.

Is gum disease curable?
While gum disease can’t be completely cured, it can be effectively managed with the right treatment and ongoing care. Early-stage gum disease, known as gingivitis, can often be reversed with professional cleanings and improved oral hygiene. For more advanced stages, periodontal disease treatments may include deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing, which remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line. Our dental team at Hammock Bay Dental is dedicated to helping you control periodontal disease and protect your oral health for the long term.

When is it too late to reverse gum disease?
It’s never too late to seek treatment for gum disease, but the earlier it’s addressed, the better the outcome. In the initial stages, gum disease can often be reversed with proper care. However, once it progresses to advanced periodontal disease, while it may not be fully reversible, treatment can still prevent further damage and preserve your teeth. We provide effective gum disease treatments at every stage, working to halt the progression of the disease and maintain your oral health.
