Answers to Help You Feel Confident About Your Visit
Frequently Asked Questions About Periodontics
Why do my gums bleed when I brush or floss?
Bleeding gums are often an early sign of gum inflammation caused by plaque buildup or developing periodontal disease.
Can gum disease cause teeth to feel loose?
Yes. Advanced periodontal disease can damage the bone and tissues supporting the teeth, causing them to loosen over time.
What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?
Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease, while periodontitis is a more advanced condition that affects the bone supporting the teeth.
Does gum recession grow back naturally?
Receded gums typically do not grow back on their own, but periodontal treatment can help manage the condition and prevent further recession.
Why do I still have bad breath even after brushing?
Persistent bad breath may be caused by bacteria trapped beneath the gumline, which often requires professional periodontal care.
Are deep cleanings different from regular dental cleanings?
Yes. Deep cleanings target bacteria and buildup beneath the gums to treat periodontal disease and support healing.
Can smoking affect my gum health?
Yes. Tobacco use increases the risk of gum disease, slows healing, and can worsen periodontal problems.
