Gum disease treatment in Camden
Gentle, evidence-based periodontal care to help manage bleeding gums, gum recession and bone loss.
Gum (periodontal) disease is a common but often silent condition that affects the tissues supporting your teeth. Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) usually causes red, swollen or bleeding gums and is generally reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can lead to gum recession, loss of supporting bone and, eventually, loose teeth — and needs ongoing management. At Dentistree in Camden, we'll carefully assess your gum health and walk you through what's happening and what you can do about it.
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, yet it's often painless until it's advanced. Risk factors include plaque build-up, smoking, poorly controlled diabetes, certain medications, hormonal changes and a family history of gum disease. The good news is that with early detection, professional treatment and consistent home care, gum disease can usually be controlled. Once you've had periodontal disease, you'll generally need more frequent check-ups and cleans to keep it stable long-term.
