What is gum disease?
Gum disease (or periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection that erodes the soft tissue of your gums. This causes harmful bacteria to build up along your gum line and wears away at the structure of your teeth; in extreme cases, it can even lead to bone loss.
Some of the primary causes of gum disease are:
- Poor dental hygiene
- Chronic illnesses such as diabetes
- Smoking
- Hormonal changes due to menstrual cycles or pregnancy
- Nutritional deficiencies
Our gum disease dentists can help you develop an effective treatment and prevention plan that will help you regain and maintain oral health.

Hear from our patients
I had a very good experience getting a cavity filled. It was done well but did not take long. Dr. Martin took his time answering my questions and listening to my requests. He filled the cavity in a way that my retainer from my orthodontist still fit so I didn’t have to get a new one.
