Gum Disease Management in Mesa, AZ

Gum disease is more common than you might think—and it often starts quietly. At Woolf Dental, we take a proactive approach to gum health, checking for early signs and offering personalized care to help prevent long-term damage. With the right treatment, gum disease can be managed, and your smile can be protected for years to come.

Gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) can lead to serious oral health problems if left untreated. Early symptoms like bleeding gums or persistent bad breath may seem minor, but over time, they can progress to bone loss and tooth loss. The sooner we catch it, the easier it is to manage.

We may recommend periodontal care if you’re experiencing:

  • Bleeding, swollen, or tender gums
  • Receding gumlines or teeth that appear longer
  • Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
  • Loose teeth or changes in your bite
  • A history of gum disease or bone loss

Treatment often begins with scaling and root planing—a deep cleaning that removes plaque and bacteria below the gumline. From there, we’ll build a personalized plan to support your healing, which may include more frequent cleanings and at-home care tips.
