In its earliest stage, known as gingivitis, gum disease is often completely reversible. With improved daily brushing and flossing, along with professional cleanings and targeted antimicrobial treatments, your gums can return to a healthy, pink, and firm state. Regular dental visits also play a key role in preventing gingivitis from developing into more serious gum disease.
However, once gum disease progresses to periodontitis, it becomes a chronic condition that cannot be reversed, but it can be effectively managed. At this stage, bacteria begin to damage the bone and tissue that support your teeth. Our goal at Faywest Dental Center is to stop the infection, reduce inflammation, and prevent further bone loss.
We use precise and comfortable treatment techniques, including deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) and laser therapy, to remove bacteria and promote healing. For advanced cases, we may collaborate with local specialists to ensure you receive the most comprehensive care possible.
