Signs to watch for
Bleeding when brushing or flossing, red and swollen gums, bad breath, receding gums, a tooth that feels loose or a change in your bite.
Gingivitis and periodontitis
Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums only, and with the right treatment and home care it usually settles. Left untreated, the inflammation can reach the bone around the teeth — periodontitis, which leads to loose teeth and tooth loss.
How we help
Treatment starts with an examination of your gums. Then tartar and plaque are professionally removed above and below the gum line, and you get detailed advice for care at home. If the condition is more advanced, Dr. Kirov will explain the next steps and how often to come back for review.
The information on this page is general. Your treatment plan is decided after an examination with Dr. Ivan Kirov.
