What Do You Mean My Gums Have A

Disease?

Periodontal disease is the last thing you want to hear about when you

visit a dentist.

Luckily, gum disease is entirely preventable, and in the long run treatable.

What Causes Periodontal Disease?

Gum disease isn't a disease as you immediately think of it.

It's more of a case of lack of maintenance.

When bacteria in our mouthsare combined with mucus and gunk they

harden to form plaque.

When the plaque hardens it causes

gingivitis

characterized by red, swollen

gums that bleed a lot.

If you are suffering from this condition, you may need

periodontal treatment from our Chandler dentists.

The Chandler dentists at Shumway Dental Care will make sure

you have a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile.

Whether you need cosmetic dentistry, bridges or crowns, or just a checkup, their

staff will make sure your visit is comfortable.
