Periodontal care centers on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gum disease and issues affecting the supporting structures of your teeth. Maintaining proper periodontal health is essential to protect your gums, prevent tooth loss and promote overall oral hygiene.

Our experienced periodontists and team are highly dedicated to managing the complexities of gum disease, a condition that not only impacts your oral health but is also linked to broader systemic concerns such as cardiovascular disease. Here at Metro West Orthodontics & Periodontics, we recognize the importance of healthy gums and provide comprehensive care to reduce these potential risks.

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, can present with symptoms that might seem mild at first but can lead to more serious problems if untreated. These symptoms may include:

  • Red or swollen gums
  • Receding gums
  • Gums that bleed easily
  • Bone loss
  • Tooth pain or loss
  • Loose teeth

These warning signs are often indicators of deeper periodontal issues. It is important to understand that these symptoms may develop with or without noticeable pain, making routine dental visits crucial for early detection and treatment.
