Professional teeth cleaning by our dental hygienist is crucial to stop your infection from worsening. If you leave it untreated for a long time, gingivitis, the initial stage of gum disease, can become advanced periodontitis, which portrays severe infection and promotes gum recession.

Our highly experienced dentists and dental hygienists will evaluate your mouth and may recommend scaling and root planning to clean your gum line and reduce your gum pockets.

After your treatment, we will also suggest good dental hygiene practices such as regular brushing and flossing to keep your gums healthy.

 

What Causes Gingivitis, Gum Disease, and Periodontal Disease?

Gingivitis, gum disease, and periodontal disease are mostly caused by plaque buildup and bacteria in your mouth. Plaque accumulation allows the bacteria to grow and cause infection that leads to inflammation of your gums. If you do not get treatment, your condition can worsen and become gingivitis, characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums.

Furthermore, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease. Periodontitis can cause your gums to pull away from your teeth, creating pockets that easily become infected and may lead to tooth loss. You may suffer supporting bone and gum tissue loss due to your infection.

At Courthouse Art of Dentistry, our dental team, including Dr. Joseph Khalil and Dr. Patrick Haddad, is dedicated to helping you heal from and prevent swollen gums, gingivitis, and gum disease. We aim to restore and maintain your oral health through a combination of professional treatments and personalized care plans.

By staying proactive and committed to your oral hygiene, you can prevent the progression of these conditions and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

 

Causes of Bad Breath

Bad breath and chronic halitosis are common when you have gingivitis or periodontal disease. Bad breath occurs because bacteria build up in your mouth, creating a layer of plaque that releases toxins, which are responsible for causing bad breath even after following a dental hygiene routine.

Bad breath can be more than just an inconvenience. It may signal underlying dental issues that need attention. If you've noticed people mentioning your bad breath, gum recession, or if you are self-conscious about it, it's time to visit Courthouse Art of Dentistry.

At Courthouse Dentistry, we use modern techniques to diagnose and treat your gum disease. We will perform a comprehensive examination to check for gingivitis, gum infection, swollen gums, or other signs of periodontal disease. The most effective way to address gum disease is to get your gums checked and start early treatment.

Our practice offers a range of treatments tailored to your specific needs, from deep cleanings to advanced periodontal therapies. By addressing the problem promptly, you can restore not only your dental health but also your confidence. Schedule Your FREE Gum Disease Treatment Consultation NOW. Click the button below.

Risk Factors and Dangers of Not Treating Your Gum Disease and Gingivitis

If you don't treat your gingivitis and gum disease, you could lose all your teeth! Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease, characterized by inflammation, redness, and bleeding gums. Without proper treatment, it can progress to periodontal disease, causing your gums to pull away from your teeth and form pockets that gradually become infected.

Gum disease not only leads to bad breath, pain, gum infections, and tooth loss but also causes serious health problems. At Courthouse Art of Dentistry, we educate you on how to prevent gum disease and which treatment plans will help you attain a healthy smile.

If gingivitis and gum disease are not treated, they can impact your overall health. This is because the bacteria can infiltrate your bloodstream and contribute to widespread health problems. These untreated conditions are linked to heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. According to recent research, gum disease greatly triggers and exacerbates these conditions.

If you think you may have gum disease, you should quickly seek treatment at Courthouse Art of Dentistry to avoid losing your teeth and for your overall health. Dr. Joseph Khalil and Dr. Patrick Haddad are here to help with their extensive expertise and compassionate care.
