Understanding Swollen and Bleeding Gums

Keep Your Gums & Teeth Healthy By:

Swollen and/or bleeding gums are often early indicators of gum infection caused by bacteria and plaque buildup. If left untreated, these infections can escalate, jeopardizing the essential structures that sustain your teeth and jawbone. Our periodontics services in Johnstown, PA, address these issues, as gum disease can range from mild gingivitis to advanced periodontics, progressing through various stages. Early detection is crucial for preventing further complications. The most effective way to prevent gum disease is by scheduling dental cleanings at least twice a year. During these visits, our skilled team utilizes specialized dental tools and advanced cleaning products to eliminate plaque buildup from all surfaces of your teeth. This not only helps in preventing gum disease but also aids in the early detection of potential dental issues.
