Goodman Dentistry: Complete Gum Care
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, starts with plaque that hardens into tartar, creating a breeding ground for bacteria to attack gums. This stage, Gingivitis, can evolve into Periodontitis, damaging gums and the supporting bone, often leading to tooth loss without noticeable pain. Early signs include bad breath and bleeding gums. Gum disease is linked to health issues like stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and risks for pregnant women, compromising the immune system.
Optimize gum health with periodontal treatment.
The following treatment options are available to us:
- Benefit from detailed cleaning with scaling and root planning.
- Eradicate plaque and tartar accumulation through meticulous root cleaning.

We strongly recommend that you schedule an appointment to discuss the most appropriate periodontal treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, as treatments may vary from person to person.
