Gum disease is one of the most common dental problems affecting adults, and if left untreated, it can lead to serious consequences, including tooth loss. It starts with gingivitis, which is an inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup. Symptoms include redness, swelling, and bleeding during brushing or flossing. If not treated early, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis, where the infection spreads to the bone supporting your teeth, potentially causing tooth loosening or loss.

Treating Gum Disease Early is the Key

At Vega Medical Center, we offer a range of specialized gum treatments designed to halt the progression of gum disease and restore your oral health. For early-stage gum diseases, we can perform cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planning, which remove plaque and tartar from the teeth’s crown and roots.
