Gum disease often develops quietly, with symptoms like bleeding gums or bad breath easy to overlook. Dr. Tapia treats every stage of periodontal disease, from early gingivitis to more advanced cases.
Treatment may include a deep cleaning below the gumline (scaling and root planing), followed by a personalized maintenance schedule to keep the disease from progressing.
Left untreated, gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss — so if you're noticing symptoms, addressing them early makes treatment simpler and more effective.
