Gum Disease Treatment in Wylie, TX
Bleeding gums are not normal. Caught early, gum disease is very treatable.
Is gum disease reversible?
The earliest stage, gingivitis, is reversible with a thorough professional cleaning and better home care. Once it advances to periodontitis and bone is lost, treatment shifts to controlling it rather than reversing it. That is why early signs matter. Dr. Esther Jeong at Willow Family Dentistry in Wylie measures gum pocket depths at every checkup to catch it early.

Gum Disease Treatment
Most people with gum disease do not know they have it. It rarely hurts in the early stages. What you notice instead is bleeding when you brush, gums that look puffy, or breath that will not improve no matter what you do. Treatment usually starts with a deep cleaning below the gumline to remove the buildup causing the irritation. Dr. Jeong will tell you plainly how far along it is and what it will take to get it under control.
