Common Questions
Is bleeding gums serious?
Bleeding gums are an early warning sign of gingivitis — the mildest and most reversible form of gum disease. It's not something to ignore.
Can gum disease be cured?
Early-stage gingivitis is fully reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. Advanced periodontitis can be controlled but requires ongoing maintenance.
Does gum disease affect my overall health?
Yes. Gum disease is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes complications, stroke, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Treating it matters for your whole body.
