Sneaky Signs of Gum Disease

Sneaky Signs
of Gum Disease

Maybe you’ve noticed something feels off with your gums, or perhaps our Beaverton dentist mentioned “gingivitis” at your last cleaning. Here are gum disease symptoms to look for:

  • Painful, Swollen Gums
  • Bleeding Gums When Brushing 
  • Persistent Bad Breath
  • Receding Gums or “Long” Teeth
  • Loose or Shifting Teeth

Each of these signs is your body’s way of saying you need a little extra love. It’s never too late, and early treatment often delivers the best results.

Dental Deep Cleaning (SRP)

Bone Grafting

Gum disease can cause bone loss, weakening the very structure that holds your smile together. Grafting helps rebuild that lost support using natural or synthetic materials that encourage new bone growth. It’s a gentle way to restore stability.
