Healthy gums provide the foundation for beautiful, functional smiles, yet periodontal (gum) disease affects nearly half of American adults. At Maison Dental Studio, Dr. Murray and Dr. Mullen understand the critical connection between gum health and overall wellness, providing comprehensive periodontal care ranging from prevention to treatment of advanced disease.
Periodontal disease is an infection of tissues supporting and surrounding teeth, caused by bacteria in dental plaque. Left untreated, these infections destroy gum tissue and underlying bone, eventually leading to tooth loss. More concerning, research links periodontal disease to serious systemic conditions including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and pregnancy complications.
Our comprehensive approach emphasizes early detection through thorough periodontal examinations during routine visits. We use advanced diagnostic tools measuring gum pocket depths, assessing attachment levels, and identifying areas of bone loss. Early intervention prevents minor gum problems from progressing to serious periodontal disease requiring extensive treatment.
Periodontal disease progresses through stages. Gingivitis, the earliest stage, causes gum inflammation, bleeding during brushing or flossing, and sometimes bad breath. At this stage, disease is reversible through professional cleaning and improved home care. Many people don’t realize they have gingivitis because it often causes no discomfort.
Periodontitis develops when gingivitis goes untreated, allowing bacteria to spread below the gum line. Gums pull away from teeth creating “pockets” collecting more bacteria. As infection progresses, toxins break down bone and connective tissue holding teeth in place. Warning signs include persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, changes in bite alignment, and visible pus around teeth and gums.
Advanced periodontitis represents the most serious stage, with deep pockets, extensive bone loss, and teeth loosening or falling out. Treatment becomes more complex, sometimes requiring surgery. However, even advanced disease can be managed with appropriate care, preventing further deterioration and preserving remaining teeth.
Multiple factors increase periodontal disease risk including smoking, diabetes, medications causing dry mouth, hormonal changes, genetic predisposition, stress, and poor nutrition. During your examination, we’ll assess your risk factors and develop prevention strategies addressing your specific situation.
Comprehensive periodontal examinations during routine visits identify gum problems early when they're easiest to treat and reverse.
We offer advanced non-surgical therapies including scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy, and laser treatment managing periodontal disease effectively.
Customized maintenance programs with frequent professional cleanings and tailored home care instructions help you maintain healthy gums long-term.

Warning signs include bleeding gums during brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, pain when chewing, changes in bite alignment, and visible pus around teeth. However, early gum disease often causes no discomfort, making regular dental examinations essential for early detection.
Treatment depends on disease severity. Early gingivitis reverses with professional cleaning and improved home care. Periodontitis requires scaling and root planing to remove bacteria and tartar below the gum line. Advanced cases may need surgical intervention. We’ll develop treatment plans based on your specific condition and needs.
Most patients respond well to non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing. Surgery becomes necessary only when deep pockets persist after initial treatment or when significant bone loss requires regeneration procedures. Our goal is always to manage disease with the least invasive approach providing successful outcomes.
Prevent gum disease through consistent oral hygiene including brushing twice daily, flossing or using interdental cleaners daily, and professional cleanings every six months. Don’t smoke, manage diabetes effectively, eat nutritious diets, and address teeth grinding. Regular dental visits allow early detection and intervention before problems develop.
