Gingivitis
Gingivitis is the start of gum disease, also known as periodontitis. A substantial amount of people suffer from gum disease without even realizing that they have it.
Gum Disease Is Preventable
We know that gingivitis is both urgent and painful. That is why we will make sure to get you in for an emergency appointment as soon as we can. Stop suffering from painful, sore, and bleeding gums, and call us today. We will help you get out of pain and back to normal.
The best treatment for gingivitis (or gum disease) is prevention. Prevention starts with great dental hygiene, which includes brushing twice daily and flossing once per day. Regular six-month dental cleanings and checkups are also imperative for your dental health. Unfortunately, sometimes, even despite our best efforts, we get gingivitis. Once you have gingivitis, it can only be corrected with special tools at the dentist. If you are experiencing gum pain or bleeding, give us a call today. Our skilled staff will get your teeth and gums healthy again and give you a treatment plan so that you can have a long-lasting, healthy smile.

Our skilled dental hygienists are gentle and thorough, making sure that your dental health is in tip-top shape and that you are comfortable during any dental treatment.

What Is Gingivitis?
Here are some factors to consider if you think you have active periodontal disease, also known as Gingivitis
Low Frequency
If you haven't been in to see a dentist in perhaps many years, you are at high-risk for periodontal disease.
Inflammation
Swollen and/or bleeding gums may be an indicator of early stages of gum disease or gingivitis.
Tartar Build-Up
By the time plaque on your teeth hardens into tartar - you are already at serious risk for periodontal disease.
“Such a great experience! Dr. Afar was so meticulous and helpful to me and really took his time explaining what was going on with my gums. Plus they gave me a great cleaning! This is a really organized and clean dental office and you feel like you’re in great hands here.”
