Gum Disease Treatments
Gum disease is caused primarily by bacteria in dental plaque that inflame and infect the gums, causing them to pull away from the teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to bone loss, tooth loss and recession that affects both function and appearance.
It often begins silently — poor nutrition, certain health conditions and inadequate hygiene let bacteria thrive along the gumline. That’s why regular visits matter: early stages respond well to conservative treatment, preventing the need for surgery. We combine advanced periodontal therapy with patient education to help Jacksonville and Orange Park patients achieve lasting oral health.
