At Dental Design of Wheaton, we know it’s easy to ignore bleeding gums or put off that dentist appointment. But the truth is, catching gum disease early can save you from bigger issues (and bigger bills) down the line. Dr. Chopra, our gum disease dentist, makes it simple to get back on track and keep your smile strong and healthy for years to come.
Let’s tackle gum disease together. Schedule your appointment today and take the first step toward a healthier smile and a healthier you.
What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. It begins as gingivitis, marked by red, swollen gums, and can progress to periodontitis if untreated. Advanced gum disease may lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and even affect your overall health.
Common symptoms to watch for:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding during brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums or longer-looking teeth
- Loose or shifting teeth
If you’re experiencing any of these, seek treatment promptly! Dr. Chopra, our Wheaton gum disease dentist, is here to help.
What periodontal therapy can do for you
Stop the progression of gum disease
Periodontal therapy targets infection and prevents further damage to your gums and bone structure.
Protect your smile
Healthy gums are the foundation of a beautiful smile. Periodontal therapy ensures your teeth stay strong and secure.
Restore healthy gums
By eliminating bacteria and inflammation, therapy helps your gums heal and supports your overall dental health.
Improve overall health
Treating gum disease can reduce inflammation, lowering the risk of systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
Bad breath? It might be gum disease
Dealing with bad breath can be frustrating — and let’s face it, a little embarrassing. If it feels like no amount of brushing, flossing, or mints is helping, the problem could be gum disease. Bacteria below the gumline not only affect your oral health but can also cause persistent odors that just won’t go away.
You’re not alone, and you don’t have to live with this. Visit us and let’s see what’s going on and talk about gum disease treatments that will help you feel fresher and more confident.

FAQs about gum disease treatment
Is periodontal therapy painful?
We use modern techniques to ensure your comfort during treatment.
Can gum disease be cured?
While gum disease can’t be reversed, it can be managed effectively with professional care and good oral hygiene practices.
How can I prevent gum disease?
Regular dental cleanings, proper brushing and flossing, and avoiding smoking are key to preventing gum disease.
How often do I need periodontal maintenance?
After treatment, we typically recommend maintenance visits every 3–4 months to keep your gums healthy.
Do hormonal changes affect gum disease?
Yes, hormonal fluctuations can make you more susceptible to gum disease. If you’re noticing changes in your gum health during hormonal shifts, it’s important to seek professional care to manage the condition effectively.
How can I protect my gums during pregnancy?
Pregnancy gingivitis is a common condition caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy that make gums more prone to inflammation. Maintaining good oral hygiene, eating a balanced diet, and scheduling regular dental cleanings can help prevent gum problems during pregnancy. We’ll work with you to keep your gums healthy during this special time.
