Good to Know
FAQs — Gum Disease Treatment (Periodontics)
Q: Why do my gums bleed when I brush?
A: Usually due to plaque and tartar causing gum inflammation. Professional cleaning helps.
Q: Can gum disease cause tooth loss?
A: Yes. Advanced gum disease destroys the bone that holds teeth.
Q: Does scaling weaken teeth?
A: No. Scaling removes tartar only and helps the gums heal.
Q: Is laser gum treatment painful?
A: Laser treatment is usually more comfortable with less bleeding and faster healing.
Q: Is gum disease linked to diabetes?
A: Yes. Diabetes increases gum disease risk, and gum disease can affect sugar control.
