Gum Disease Treatment

You can keep your gums healthy with regular cleanings every six months. However, sometimes, gum disease can sneak up on you when you least expect it. If you notice signs of gum disease, call VIP Dentistry right away. We offer comprehensive gum disease treatment to get your oral health back on track.

Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, is typically caused by poor oral hygiene. Patients who practice poor at-home care and miss their regular cleanings experience a build-up of bacterial plaque. The bacteria attack your sensitive gum tissues and cause infections that impact your overall oral health. Gum disease begins as gingivitis. If left untreated, gum disease can progress to its advanced stage, periodontitis. At this stage, the infections can result in the loss of gum tissue, jawbone tissue, and teeth.
