Gum Disease Treatment - Westlake Village, CA
A Beautiful Smile
Starts with Your Gums
Treat Your Gums with the
Professional Care They Deserve
In its early stage, called gingivitis, gums may be swollen, red, and bleed when you brush and floss. If gingivitis is left untreated, plaque turns into tartar, which can lead to a more advanced and serious form of gum disease called periodontitis. Advanced periodontal disease is associated with the formation of periodontal pockets, gum infections, destruction of the underlying bone, and eventual tooth loss. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
Periodontitis has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, respiratory disease, pancreatic and blood cancers in men, and Alzheimer’s. If you’re experiencing red, swollen, or tender gums that bleed when you brush, we encourage you to schedule prompt periodontal disease treatment in Westlake Village, CA. Gum disease treatment at Westlake Smile Studio from our skilled and compassionate periodontist Dr. Jane Law will protect your smile, oral health, and systemic health.
