Gum Disease Treatment in Orlando, FL

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. It begins with plaque buildup along the gumline and can progress to inflammation, bleeding, and even tooth loss if left untreated.

At Carabelli Dental, we identify gum disease early and provide gentle treatments to stop infection, promote healing, and prevent future problems.

Common Symptoms:

Red, swollen, or tender gums

Bleeding when brushing or flossing

Persistent bad breath

Gum recession or loose teeth

Tooth sensitivity or discomfort

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Disease

If your gums bleed or feel sore, you’re not alone. Here are some of the most common questions patients ask about gum disease and treatment at Carabelli Dental in Orlando.

Can gum disease be cured?

Early stages like gingivitis can be reversed with professional cleaning and good home care. Advanced stages can be managed with treatment and maintenance.

What causes gum disease?

Plaque buildup from poor oral hygiene is the most common cause, but smoking, stress, and certain medical conditions can also contribute.

Does gum disease hurt?

Not always — many people don’t feel pain until it becomes serious. That’s why early detection through regular checkups is important.

How often should I get my gums checked?

Every six months is ideal for preventive care, or more frequently if you’ve had gum problems before.

Will I lose my teeth if I have gum disease?

Not necessarily. With timely treatment, most patients keep their teeth healthy and stable for life.

Can gum disease affect overall health?

Yes — studies show it’s linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions. Treating it protects both your mouth and your body.

What our clients say

We are committed to sustainability. eco-friendly initiatives.

I have had the best experience at Carabelli dental these past few visits. My husband and I came in as new patients last week and we both had a really positive visit with the Dentist, dental hygienist, reception staff and assistants. I can't say enough what a breath of fresh air it is, especially as someone who experiences dental anxiety. I just had a filling completed by Dr. Nguyen's associate and I felt very comfortable. Dr. Nguyen and her team are amazing and I am so grateful to have come across this wonderful office. My husband and I have found our dental home and we will be recommending family and friends, as well. Thank you Carabelli dental.

Kayla Fatih

My whole family sees Dr. Nguyen at Carabelli now. She's so thoughtful and knowledgeable. She educated us about everything from the anatomy, cause and effect, to treatment process. She only recommended what was needed. We felt very comfortable being there and we know we can trust her.

Alice Adkins

The best Dentist and dental staff I've ever experienced. Not only is my mouth 100x's healthier but my confidence level has improved. Thank you!

Martin Olson

I came for my bi-annual cleaning and to check-up on a concern I had with a molar feeling a little sensitive. Dr. Nguyen was so professional, kind and helpful with her consultation and examination. Christian, my dental hygienist, was so gentle and thorough. I have a history of panic attacks during dental cleanings and my palms didn't even sweat. Overall, the experience was as pleasurable as a trip to the dentist could ever be. Their office is clean and inviting. Most importantly, I didn't feel the sense of being taken advantage of and scammed as I do with many dental businesses in Orlando.
