Gum disease affects your whole body. Research shows strong links between gum disease and serious health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, stroke and pregnancy complications.
The good news? Gum disease is preventable and treatable, especially when caught early.
Bacteria from gum disease can enter your bloodstream and contribute to heart disease and stroke risk.
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Early treatment protects your natural teeth.
Healthy gums support better control of diabetes, reduce inflammation, and contribute to overall wellbeing.
Many people don't realize they have gum disease because early stages are often painless. Watch for these signs:
Important: If your gums bleed when you brush, that's not normal, even if it's been happening for years. Bleeding gums are an early warning sign of gum disease. The earlier we catch it, the easier it is to treat.
We offer comprehensive gum care tailored to your specific needs, from prevention to advanced treatment.
Advanced treatment for gingivitis and periodontal disease. We stop the infection, restore gum health and create a maintenance plan to keep your gums healthy long-term.
Treatments include: deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) and ongoing maintenance care.
A thorough cleaning below the gum line to remove bacteria, tartar, and toxins. Root planing smooths tooth roots to help gums reattach and heal.
What to expect: Comfortable treatment with local anesthesia, usually completed in 1-2 visits, with noticeable improvement in gum health.
We know many patients feel embarrassed about gum problems, especially if it's been a while since your last dental visit. Maybe you've noticed bleeding gums for months (or years) and kept putting off calling. Maybe you're worried we'll be disappointed or lecture you about flossing.
Here's the truth: Gum disease is incredibly common. Nearly half of adults over 30 have some form of it. You're not alone, and there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Dr. Grady and our team are here to help, not judge. We've seen it all, and our only goal is to get your gums healthy again and help you keep them that way. We'll explain what's happening, what your options are and create a treatment plan that works for your life.
No lectures. No judgment. Just compassionate care and real solutions.
The best treatment for gum disease is prevention. Regular professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar before they cause problems.
Most patients benefit from cleanings every 6 months. If you have a history of gum disease, we may recommend more frequent maintenance cleanings (every 3-4 months) to keep your gums healthy.
Don't wait until gum disease causes serious damage. Dr. Grady and our team are here to help you protect your gums and your overall health with compassionate, judgment-free care.
