What are the signs of gum disease?

Common signs include: bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums (teeth look longer), loose teeth, and pain when chewing. However, periodontitis can be painless in its early stages, which is why regular dental check-ups are important.

Can gum disease be cured?

Gingivitis (early gum disease) can be completely reversed with professional cleaning and improved home care. Periodontitis (advanced gum disease) cannot be cured but can be controlled with treatment and regular maintenance cleanings. The goal is to stop the progression and prevent further bone loss.

How often should I get a cleaning if I have gum disease?

Patients with a history of periodontitis typically need maintenance cleanings every 3–4 months rather than the standard 6 months. This more frequent schedule helps control bacterial levels and prevent recurrence.

Do I need gum treatment before getting implants or veneers?

Yes. Active gum disease must be treated before any implant, veneer, or crown work. Healthy gums are essential for the long-term success of all dental restorations.

Healthy Gums Are the Foundation of a Healthy Smile

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It begins as gingivitis — inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup — and can progress to periodontitis, which destroys the bone and tissue supporting your teeth. Left untreated, periodontitis leads to tooth mobility and eventual tooth loss.

At Molar City MX, we offer the full spectrum of periodontal treatments: professional cleanings for early gingivitis, deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) for moderate periodontitis, and surgical gum grafting for advanced cases with significant gum recession. All periodontal work is performed by experienced periodontists using the latest techniques.

Gum disease treatment in the US can cost $1,000–$4,000 or more for scaling and root planing. At our clinic, the same treatment is available for $200–$800 — making it affordable to address gum disease before it leads to tooth loss.
