Periodontal (gum) disease is a degenerative condition affecting the gums and supporting structures of the mouth. It begins with mild inflammation in the gum tissue (a condition known as gingivitis). If the tissue is left untreated, more severe damage will grow there. It can cause bone loss, gum recession, and tooth loss. In fact, periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.

Periodontal disease is characterized by red, swollen, painful, or bleeding gums, though in some cases there may be no noticeable symptoms. It happens actually when the bacteria in your mouth infect the gum tissue.

If you have gum disease, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with our skilled periodontist. Periodontists are specialists who have completed several years of additional training to provide treatments accordingly for managing gum disease and restoring your oral health. Cheerdental offers a wide range of periodontal treatments for mild and severe forms of gum disease. These treatments range from deep dental cleanings (scaling and root planing) and antibiotic treatments to oral surgery. You may also require periodontal treatment prior to crown lengthening, ridge augmentation procedures, and some restorative treatments, like dental implants.
