Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common but serious condition that affects the tissues supporting your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss. At Lawndale Dental Group, Dr. Arian Barooty specializes in diagnosing and treating all stages of gum disease to help you maintain a healthy smile.
Gum disease often begins with gingivitis — red, swollen gums that bleed easily — and can progress to periodontitis, where deep pockets form around the teeth and infection sets in. Early detection and professional care are key to stopping it in its tracks.
Whether you’re noticing signs like bleeding gums, bad breath, or loose teeth, Dr. Barooty offers advanced periodontal treatments tailored to your needs, restoring your oral health with comfort and precision.
