People that are experiencing bleeding, and have red, swollen or sore gums, halitosis/bad breath, metallic taste, or wobbly teeth may be suffering from periodontal disease.

When a patient has periodontal disease or “gum disease” they will require a different kind of treatment and maintenance. This is usually in the form of a root planning and curettage. More advanced periodontal disease may need referral to a periodontist for management
