Signs /
Are your gums telling you something?
Gum disease barely hurts until it’s advanced. These are the signs worth getting checked.
They bleed when you brush
It’s the first sign of inflammation. At this stage it’s called gingivitis, and it can still be reversed.
Bad breath that won’t go away
A constant bad taste or bad breath can come from tartar and bacteria trapped below the gumline.
Teeth that look longer or feel loose
If your gums are receding or a tooth moves, the bone that holds it may be at risk.
You’re about to get an implant
Active gum disease has to be treated first: an implant can be lost the same way.
Step by step /How we treat your gums
First we measure how deep the inflammation goes. Then we treat it area by area and follow up.
- 01
Assessment
We measure your gums tooth by tooth, review your X-rays and explain what’s going on and what they need.
30 min - 02
Scaling and root planing
A deep cleaning below the gumline, one area of the mouth at a time and with local anesthesia, to remove tartar from the roots.
60 min - 03
Re-evaluation
After a few weeks, we check how your gums responded and whether any area needs something more.
- 04
Maintenance
Follow-up cleanings every three or four months, depending on your case, so the inflammation doesn’t come back.
After treatment /
Next steps at home
Your gums take a few weeks to calm down. What you do at home and your maintenance visits are what keep the results.
Caring for your gums
- You may feel some sensitivity for a few days after scaling; it usually goes away on its own.
- The bleeding should keep decreasing. If it doesn’t, message us.
- Use the brushing technique and the flossing we show you at your visit.
- Don’t skip your maintenance cleanings: they’re what keep it from coming back.

Almost always because of inflammation caused by plaque and tartar built up along the gumline. It’s the first sign of gum disease, and at that stage it can still be reversed.
