Gingivitis Treatment

Gingivitis Treatment

Gum disease treatment at Waverly is diagnosed to prevent and treat a variety of diseases affecting the gums. Also known as gum disease, periodontal disease involves bacterial growth (a colorless film called “plaque”) that gradually destroys the tissue surrounding the teeth. If plaque is not removed, it builds up on the teeth and ultimately irritates the gums and causes bleeding and receding gums. If left untreated, bone and surrounding tissue will decay, resulting in loose teeth, or worse, tooth loss. Our specialized dentist will help you maintain healthy gums through the detection and treatment of diseases like periodontitis and gingivitis.
