Gum Disease Treatment

Bleeding or sore gums are one of our patients' top dental concerns.

Gums that bleed and are painful or sore may be an indication of gingivitis or gum disease. If your gums bleed regularly, please make an appointment at Sylvania Smile Design. We'll examine your gums, identify issues, and take steps to resolve the matter.

Gum disease can lead to tooth loss if not treated.
