Our team uses the latest technology, including CO₂ laser dentistry in Tampa, to treat gum disease safely, effectively, and comfortably.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, also known as "gum disease," occurs when bacteria in plaque and tartar irritate and infect the gums. Early stages, called "gingivitis," may cause redness, swelling, and bleeding, while more advanced periodontitis can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.

Common signs of periodontal issues include:

  • Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Gum recession or sensitive teeth
  • Loose or shifting teeth

Regular checkups and professional care are key to preventing these complications.

Benefits of Periodontal Treatment

There are numerous benefits to receiving routine periodontal care, from preventing gum disease to keeping periodontitis manageable.

Protects Your Natural Teeth

Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. Proper periodontal care helps control oral infection, strengthen gum attachment, and reduce the risk of teeth becoming loose or falling out. Treatment keeps your smile healthy!

Supports Overall Health

Research has shown a link between gum disease and systemic health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. By treating periodontal problems early, you lower inflammation in the body and support your overall wellness.

Improves Comfort and Function

Swollen, bleeding gums and sensitivity can make eating and speaking uncomfortable. Periodontal treatment helps reduce these symptoms, making daily activities like chewing and brushing more comfortable and effective.
