The facts about gum disease
It’s not a pretty picture. According to the American Dental Association,
three-quarters of all adults will be affected by some form of gum disease. In
the La Jolla area, you can turn to Dr. Gary Sigafoos, a periodontist in La
Jolla, as your resource in the prevention and treatment of gum disease.

Gum disease, technically referred to as “periodontal
disease,” is a bacterial infection in the gums and supporting structures of the
teeth. There are several stages and categories. The first stage is called
“gingivitis” and is characterized by gum tissue that is red, puffy, and bleeds
easily during brushing and flossing.
The next several categories include advancing stages of
periodontal disease. In these stages, the infection can destroy the bone
supporting the teeth, eventually causing tooth loss. But when you visit LaJolla
Periodontics regularly, we can help you avoid gum disease and its destructive
results. And if you’re diagnosed with periodontal disease, Dr. Sigafoos and his
experienced team can effectively treat the disease, using the latest
technologies to return your mouth to health.
