What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease (also called periodontal disease) is caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria along and below the gumline. If not treated, it can destroy the bone and tissue that support your teeth.
  • Gingivitis – The earliest stage, marked by red, swollen, or bleeding gums.

  • Periodontitis – A more advanced stage that can cause gum recession, bone loss, and loose teeth.

Early detection is key—regular checkups can prevent serious complications.

Signs You May Need Periodontal Therapy

Gum disease often develops quietly, but there are common signs that shouldn’t be ignored:
  • Bleeding when brushing or flossing

  • Swollen, red, or tender gums

  • Persistent bad breath or bad taste

  • Gum recession or teeth that appear longer

  • Loose or shifting teeth

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an exam with our Forney dental team.

Other Periodontal Treatment Options

Depending on your condition, we may recommend a combination of therapies to restore your gum health:
  • Scaling & Root Planing – Deep cleaning below the gumline to remove hardened plaque (tartar) and bacteria.

  • Antibacterial Rinses – Prescription mouthwashes to reduce infection and promote healing.

  • Ongoing Maintenance Visits – More frequent cleanings to monitor and control the disease long term.

We’ll customize your treatment plan based on the severity of your gum disease and your overall oral health.

Answers to Your Questions

Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, is reversible with prompt treatment. Advanced stages can be managed, but not reversed.

GumX and deep cleanings can often be completed in one or two visits, depending on severity.

Yes, without good home care and regular maintenance, gum disease can return. That’s why follow-up care is so important.
