Gum disease comes in two types: gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is the more mild form of the disease, and is characterized by red, swollen, and tender gums. Periodontitis is the more severe form of the disease, and may be identified by receding gums, bleeding gums, and loose teeth.

Gum Disease Symptoms

If you are currently having any of the following symptoms, contact your dentist immediately for gum disease treatment.

Persistent bad breath
Red or swollen gums
Tender or bleeding gums
Receding gums
Pain when chewing or food getting embedded in gums
Loose teeth
Tooth sensitivity

If you have any of these symptoms, it is recommended that you contact your gum disease dentist immediately for an appointment. If detected early, periodontal treatment may be able to stop or completely reverse your gum disease.

If not detected early enough, gum disease may require surgical treatment and may eventually lead to tooth loss.

If you need gum disease treatment, please schedule an appointment at our Cherry Creek, Denver dentistry office today so we can evaluate the condition of your teeth and recommend appropriate treatments.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The most efficient and kind dentist and staff out there! I can't recommend them highly enough. I love the personal touch they bring to every appointment — they truly make you feel like family. Recently, I had a cap replaced, and it was amazing to watch them create the new cap right there in the office, all in one visit. No waiting for a lab! They also filled a cavity for my daughter, and the way they handled her fear of needles was incredible — so gentle and reassuring. If you're looking for top-notch dental care with a team that genuinely cares, this is the place! John Mc. Centennial, CO

I chipped my front 2 teeth a year ago and was not satisfied at all with the work done at another dentist in Fort Collins. I came here and had a great experience! The staff are all very kind and understanding. I ended up getting 2 veneers and the process was mostly pain-free and my teeth look 100x better than they did before! The entire staff is very skilled, I will definitely be coming back here for anything I need 👍
