Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common yet serious condition that affects the gums and the bones supporting your teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other health complications. It starts as gingivitis, which is inflammation of the gums, and can progress to periodontitis if not treated promptly.

Gum disease is primarily caused by the buildup of plaque—a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetics, and certain medical conditions can increase your risk. At Coyote Creek Dental, we help you understand the causes and provide effective treatment to stop the progression of gum disease.

Early detection is key to preventing serious damage from gum disease. Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule an appointment at our San Jose dental office right away.

We combine advanced dental technology with a relaxing, patient-centered atmosphere. Every visit is designed to ensure your comfort and provide you with the highest standard of care.
