Signs of Gum Disease
If you notice bleeding while brushing or red, swollen gums, you may have gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease. Our hygienists treat gingivitis with a deep cleaning and instructions on proper brushing and flossing techniques. Advanced cases often respond well to antibiotic therapy and/or laser therapy, though some severe situations will require the care of a periodontist. Dr. Mitchell will always thoroughly examine your gums and suggest the appropriate treatment to preserve your oral health.
