Can treating my gums get rid of bad breath?+
It may help if plaque, calculus and inflammation are contributing. Since other oral or medical issues can also cause odour, the source sometimes requires a separate look.
It has been years. Will I be judged?+
No. Knowing how long it has been simply helps us understand your situation. What matters at your visit is finding out where things stand today.
Has too much time passed for treatment to help?+
That is a question only an examination can answer. Even with established disease, care is aimed at controlling inflammation and protecting the support that remains around your teeth.
Why do my gums bleed so much now that I have started flossing again?+
Inflamed gums tend to bleed readily, and it is worth having that checked. We can look at those spots and suggest an interdental technique that suits you, so tell us what you have been using.
Will all my treatment happen in one visit?+
Often not. Depending on what is found, care may be divided into stages, with a reassessment afterward. Ask how yours might be arranged once your findings are known.
