Request an AppointmentWhat is Gum Disease?
A Progressive Oral Health Concern
Gum disease begins with the buildup of plaque and tartar, leading to inflammation and infection in the gums. Early signs include bleeding, swelling, and receding gums. Without timely intervention, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to other health issues like strokes and heart attacks.
Stages of Gum Disease
From Gingivitis to Advanced Periodontitis
Gingivitis
The initial stage, characterized by gum inflammation and expanding pockets around the teeth. Regular dental check-ups can detect gingivitis early, allowing for prompt treatment.
Periodontitis
At this stage, the gums and bone start to pull away from the teeth, forming deeper pockets that harbor harmful bacteria, leading to bone loss and bleeding gums.
Advanced Periodontitis
The most severe stage, where the teeth may become loose due to significant bone loss. Immediate treatment is vital to prevent tooth loss.
Gum Disease Treatment Options
Tailored Solutions for Healthy Gums
Early Stage Treatment
Routine cleanings can effectively manage gum disease in its early stages. More frequent cleanings help remove tartar and plaque before they cause significant damage.
Medicated Trays
Similar to tooth whitening trays, these are used to deliver medication deep under the gums for more effective treatment.
Advanced Treatments
In severe cases, laser therapy or oral surgery may be required to address extensive damage and treat receding gums.

Wonderful dental office, amazing staff, such a nice environment. Newsha was really nice and accommodating. Amazing manners 10/10. So glad to come here
Dr. Fady Khalil and his assistant Taguhi are highly professional and knowledgeable. It was a positive experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking quality dental care.
Dr. Fady Khalil is the best doctor! He has already cured 6 of my teeth! I was afraid of the anesthetic injection, but this doctor made it so easy that I didn't feel anything! The treatment was fast and high quality! I am very happy that this doctor treats my teeth. The assistants also took very careful X-ray of the teeth and cleaned them. The clinic staff is also very friendly. I am very glad that I get my teeth treated at this clinic.
