Whether you’ve noticed signs of gum issues or are simply looking for a reliable team near you, our experienced dental professionals are here to help with personalized solutions.

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is a common condition where the gums become inflamed or infected due to plaque and bacteria buildup. If not treated, it can lead to the breakdown of the tissues and bone that hold your teeth in place.

There are two stages:

  • Gingivitis: Mild inflammation and bleeding, usually reversible with good care.
  • Periodontitis: A more progressive stage that can cause gum recession, bone loss, and loose teeth.

Timely dental visits can help spot early warning signs before permanent damage occurs.

Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease

Many people don’t realize they have gum disease until it has already progressed. Some warning signs include:

  • Bleeding when brushing or flossing
  • Swollen, red, or tender gums
  • Bad breath that won’t go away
  • Receding gum line
  • Teeth that feel loose or shift position
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold foods

If you notice any of these symptoms, it may be time to explore periodontal treatment in Phoenix.
