Valencia Gum Disease Treatment

Providing You with Effective Dental Care in the Santa Clarita Valley

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a serious dental condition that affects countless people each year. Gum disease first becomes apparent with inflamed gums, leading to discomfort and bleeding. As the disease progresses, it destroys gum tissue and tooth structure, leading to gum recession, tooth loss, and other health complications. Gum disease requires immediate intervention in order to stop the progression and save teeth from further decay. If you are currently displaying symptoms of gum disease, our Valencia periodontal team at the office of Marvin Tong, DDS, can provide you with the dental care you need.

Give us a call today at (661) 766-4455 to schedule a gum disease evaluation in the Santa Clarita Valley.

How Do I Know if I Have Gum Disease?

Knowing the signs of gum disease can help protect you from premature tooth loss. The good thing about gum disease is that it does not develop in a day. It is a progressive disease that goes through three main stages.

The three main stages are:

  • Gingivitis: In this initial stage, you may experience red and swollen gums, bad breath, and a receding gum line
  • Periodontitis: During this stage, patients present with gums that are swollen, tender, and colored brightly red. Also, gaps between teeth begin to appear.
  • Advanced Stage: During this final stage, you may experience bone loss, bad breath, receding gums, and crooked teeth. During this stage, restorative services are often discussed.
