Common Questions

Why do my gums bleed?

Usually due to gingivitis or tartar buildup. Professional cleaning and better home care typically resolve early bleeding.

Is gum disease reversible?

Early gingivitis is reversible. Advanced periodontitis is managed with ongoing care to prevent further bone loss.

How often should I get a cleaning?

Most patients benefit every 6 months; those with gum disease may need cleanings every 3–4 months.
