Gum Disease Treatment in Beverly Hills
Gum disease is a common but often overlooked oral health concern. Our Beverly Hills office's primary aims are to detect periodontal disease early, provide cutting-edge treatment, and prevent it from returning. The goal is to prevent gum disease from worsening and, if harm has already been done, to restore the gums' natural balance and health. Our staff provides tailored care based on your condition, whether you are experiencing early symptoms or dealing with more severe ones.
What Is Gum Disease?
Periodontal disease, often known as gum disease, is a progressive illness that affects the bone and soft tissue that support your teeth. Plaque buildup around the gum line is typically the first sign. In case the gum disease is not treated properly, it can cause tooth movement and eventually tooth loss. With proper treatment and ongoing attention, the infection may be treated and further complications prevented.
Signs You May Have Gum Disease
Gum disease often develops slowly and quietly, which is why it’s important to be aware of the warning signs. You must visit the dentist to get yourself examined if you experience any of the following:
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gumline
- Shifting or loose teeth
- Sensitivity along the gumline
- Pus between the teeth and gums

Frequently Asked Questions
Gum surgery may be required in extreme cases, whereas mild cases necessitate intensive cleaning (scaling and root planing). To prevent it from recurring, your dentist will also teach you basic brushing and flossing techniques.
The severity of your disease determines how long it will take to treat. While severe cases may need months of therapy and many dental visits, moderate cases may heal in as little as a few weeks with proper brushing.
