What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults. It affects almost half of all adults, making it one of the most prevalent oral-related diseases. Gum disease is completely preventable, since it typically starts out as gingivitis and minor gum inflammation. Over time, the disease progresses and causes the gums and bone to separate from the actual teeth.

Why do you need treatment for Gum Disease?

If gum disease goes untreated, you’ll find that you develop infections and deal with tooth loss quicker than you might like. Gum disease treatment puts an end to the spread of the disease so that you do not deal with the effects of aggressive infection. Anyone who has gum disease can benefit from treatment, so it is important to come in and have an exam done as soon as possible to determine the severity of the disease. Adult patients who have gum disease will have several treatment options available to them.

What can you expect during treatment for Gum Disease?

Gum disease treatment is specific to each individual patient. If you have just been diagnosed with gum disease, it is important to start treatment early to prevent it from spreading. Gum disease treatment often involves many procedures at regular intervals. This ensures that the disease is not allowed to spread and infect surrounding gum tissue. We can help in determining the right treatment option for you when you come in for your appointment.

If you have gum disease or think you may have this condition, call our office and we will work to get you seen by us at your earliest convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gum Disease Treatment in Austin & Round Rock, TX

Get in Touch

  • Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums caused by plaque buildup. Without proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits, bacteria can inflame and damage the gum tissue, potentially leading to tooth loss.

  • Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact our Austin & Round Rock office for an evaluation.

  • Gingivitis—the early stage of gum disease—can be reversed with improved oral hygiene and professional dental cleanings. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) requires more intensive treatments but can be managed to prevent further damage.

  • Treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Options include deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), antimicrobial rinses, and in some cases, laser therapy or surgical procedures. We’ll develop a personalized plan at our Austin & Round Rock dental office based on your needs.

  • Brushing twice daily, flossing, avoiding tobacco, eating a balanced diet, and visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups are the best ways to prevent gum disease.
