Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss—and it often develops silently. At PAR Dental, we specialize in diagnosing and treating periodontal disease early to protect your smile and overall health.
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a chronic infection of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It begins as gingivitis (red, swollen gums) and can progress to periodontitis, where the gums pull away and bone loss occurs.
Dr. Par and our team provide gentle, effective periodontal care using advanced techniques and personalized treatment plans. We’re proud to serve Springboro families with preventive and restorative gum health solutions.
Gum disease is primarily caused by plaque buildup due to poor oral hygiene. Other factors include smoking, diabetes, genetics, and certain medications.
Common signs include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, and pain while chewing.
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed with professional cleanings and improved home care. Advanced stages require specialized treatment to manage and prevent further damage.
We offer deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), antibiotic therapy, laser gum treatment, and ongoing maintenance to control infection and preserve gum health.
Yes. Research shows a connection between periodontal disease and systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues.
