What is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal (gum) disease is a common condition caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria along the gumline. In its early stage—gingivitis—it can lead to redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which may result in gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.

Common Symptoms of Gum Disease

Recognizing the signs of gum disease early can help prevent serious complications. Look out for:

• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing
• Receding gums or longer-looking teeth
• Persistent bad breath
• Loose or shifting teeth
• Pain while chewing or sensitivity
   

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule a visit with our team for a professional evaluation.

Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment Options

At our Long Island City location, we focus on non-surgical periodontal care designed to stop the progression of gum disease and restore gum health. Treatment options include:

• Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): This thorough cleaning removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, helping gums reattach to teeth and reducing inflammation.
• Antibacterial Therapy: In some cases, localized antibiotics may be used alongside deep cleanings to eliminate bacteria and support healing.
• Ongoing Maintenance Care: Regular periodontal maintenance appointments help manage gum health and prevent recurrence after treatment.
   

When Specialized Care is Needed

While many cases of gum disease can be managed with non-surgical treatments, some may require more advanced evaluation or procedures. In those cases, we’ll connect you with a trusted provider within our nearby offices in the area. 

Why Periodontal Care Matters

Maintaining healthy gums isn’t just about your mouth—it’s about your overall health. Periodontal care helps:

• Prevent tooth loss by preserving supporting bone and gum tissue
• Eliminate bacteria that contribute to chronic bad breath
• Restore the natural appearance of your gum line
• Reduce the risk of systemic health issues linked to gum disease, such as heart disease, diabetes, and more
