Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a chronic infection of the gums and surrounding structures. It is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, but with early detection and proper care, it can be prevented and treated effectively. Gum disease begins with mild inflammation, known as gingivitis, and can progress into periodontitis if left untreated.

At Clove Dental in Beverly Hills, we specialize in diagnosing and treating all stages of gum disease. Our team of expert periodontists is committed to helping you achieve and maintain optimal gum health through personalized treatment plans.

Stages of Gum Disease

Gum disease progresses in stages, each requiring specific treatments:

  1. Gingivitis

Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease and is caused by plaque buildup around the gums. At this stage, gum disease is reversible with professional cleaning and good oral hygiene.

Signs of Gingivitis:

  • Red, swollen gums
  • Bleeding during brushing or flossing
  • Persistent bad breath
    2. Early Periodontitis

If gingivitis is not treated, it can develop into periodontitis. At this stage, plaque hardens into tartar below the gumline, leading to gum recession and the formation of pockets around the teeth.

Signs of Early Periodontitis:

  • Gum recession
  • Plaque and tartar buildup beneath the gumline
  • Loose teeth or shifting tooth alignment
   3. Advanced Periodontitis

In advanced periodontitis, the infection destroys the gum tissue and bone supporting the teeth, leading to potential tooth loss. Without treatment, the infection can also spread to other areas of the body.

Signs of Advanced Periodontitis:

  • Deep pockets between gums and teeth
  • Severe gum recession
  • Loose teeth or tooth loss
  • Chronic bad breath

Common Symptoms of Gum Disease

Gum disease can progress silently without causing significant discomfort in the early stages. However, there are some common symptoms to watch for:

  • Swollen, tender, or bleeding gums
  • Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
  • Receding gums (teeth appear longer)
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Pain when chewing or biting
  • Pus between the gums and teeth

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek an evaluation with a periodontist at Clove Dental in Beverly Hills as soon as possible.

Periodontal Services at Clove Dental in Beverly Hills

At Clove Dental, we provide a wide range of periodontal treatments designed to prevent, treat, and manage gum disease at every stage. Our periodontists are specialists in gum health and use advanced techniques to restore the health of your gums and teeth.

Our periodontal services include:

  • Scaling and Root Planing
     This non-surgical deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, smoothing the root surfaces to help gums reattach to the teeth.
  • Gum Surgery
     For more severe cases of periodontitis, gum surgery may be required to reduce the depth of gum pockets, remove infected tissue, or regenerate lost bone and tissue.
  • Gum Grafting
     If gum recession has occurred, gum grafting can restore lost tissue and protect exposed tooth roots, improving both your oral health and the appearance of your smile.
  • Periodontal Maintenance
     After treatment, ongoing periodontal maintenance is crucial to prevent the recurrence of gum disease. We offer personalized maintenance plans to help you keep your gums healthy long-term.

Why Early Intervention Matters

Early detection and treatment of gum disease are essential for preventing long-term damage. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to serious health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems.

At Clove Dental in Beverly Hills, we emphasize preventive care to catch gum disease in its early stages. Our periodontists are skilled in providing treatments that stop the progression of the disease and help you maintain a healthy smile.
