At Fresno Dental Care, we offer advanced care for gum disease in Fresno, helping patients prevent, manage, and reverse the effects of periodontal disease. Dr. Kamaldeep Singh and our experienced team provide personalized treatments to restore gum health and protect your smile.
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a chronic infection that affects the gums and the bone supporting your teeth. It often begins with gingivitis — red, swollen gums that bleed easily — and can progress to more severe periodontitis if left untreated.
Without treatment, gum disease can lead to receding gums, loose teeth, and even tooth loss. It’s also linked to serious health issues like heart disease and diabetes.
You may have gum disease if you experience symptoms like bleeding while brushing, chronic bad breath, gum tenderness, or teeth that feel loose. Early intervention is critical, which is why we screen for signs of gum infection during every dental cleaning and general exam.
If you’ve been avoiding the dentist and are noticing symptoms, we’re here to help — without judgment.
Treatment depends on the stage and severity of the disease. In the early stages, a professional cleaning combined with improved home care may be enough. More advanced cases may require deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), antibiotic therapy, or ongoing periodontal maintenance visits.
Our team uses gentle techniques and modern technology to keep you comfortable during every step of your care.

After treatment, it’s important to maintain regular visits to prevent recurrence. We’ll recommend a personalized care plan that may include more frequent cleanings and the use of special rinses or tools to manage bacteria at home.
Good oral hygiene combined with support from our team can keep your gums healthy for life.
