How do I know if I have gum disease?
Gum disease is painless in its early stage, which is why it is the leading cause of adult tooth loss. A hygienist measures the pockets around every tooth at your checkup; pockets deeper than 3 mm, bleeding and bone loss on X-rays confirm the diagnosis. Caught early, a deep cleaning at our East Brunswick office is usually enough.
Book a gum exam in East Brunswick if you notice:
- Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
- Red, swollen or tender gums
- Bad breath or a bad taste that will not go away
- Gums pulling away so teeth look longer
- Loose or shifting teeth, or pus near the gumline

Gum disease FAQs for East Brunswick patients
Is gum disease reversible?
Gingivitis, the early stage, is fully reversible with a professional cleaning and good home care. Periodontitis can be stopped and managed, but lost bone does not grow back on its own.
Does a deep cleaning hurt?
It is done under local anesthesia, so you feel pressure but not pain. Gums may be tender for a day or two afterwards.
Can gum disease affect my health?
Yes. It is linked to heart disease, diabetes control and pregnancy complications, which is one more reason to treat it early.
Will I need surgery?
Most patients at our East Brunswick office do not. Surgery is reserved for deep pockets that do not respond to deep cleaning.
Do you accept insurance for periodontal treatment?
Yes. Most PPO plans cover scaling and root planing and periodontal maintenance. We check your plan first.
