Healthy gums are an important part of a healthy smile. Gum disease develops when bacteria and inflammation begin to affect the tissues that support your teeth. In its early stages, you may notice symptoms such as bleeding, redness, or tenderness, but gum disease can also progress without causing significant discomfort. Identifying changes in your gum health and addressing them appropriately can help protect both your gums and the foundation that supports your teeth.
At Foley Family Dentistry, gum disease treatment is based on what is happening in your mouth and the level of care you need. For some patients, treatment may begin with a deep cleaning to remove bacterial buildup above and below the gumline. For others who have already been treated for periodontal disease, ongoing periodontal maintenance can help manage the condition and protect their oral health over time. Explore the options below to learn more about how we care for your gums.
