Gingivitis is a common but serious form of early gum disease that can cause redness, swelling, and bleeding around the base of your teeth. It is easy to overlook, but if untreated it can progress to periodontitis and tooth loss. At Granada Hills Dental Group, we help you understand, treat, and prevent gingivitis for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
What's Included
Treatment starts with a thorough professional cleaning to remove the plaque and tartar that irritate your gums. We assess your gum health, look for symptoms like puffiness, redness, tenderness, and persistent bad breath, and create a personalized prevention plan. For more advanced cases, we may refer you to a periodontist, a specialist in gum disease, for further care.

Why It Matters
Gingivitis develops when plaque hardens into tartar and irritates the gums, leading to inflammation. The good news is that with prompt, consistent care it is often preventable and even reversible. Catching it early protects you from periodontitis, a more serious condition that can weaken the gums and lead to tooth loss.
Prevention Is Key
Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, routine checkups, and a healthy lifestyle go a long way toward keeping your gums healthy. Serving Granada Hills, CA and nearby neighborhoods, our team is here to help you take a proactive approach so gum disease does not stand a chance.
