Bleeding, swollen, or receding gums can be signs of gum disease. At Oasis Dental Arts, Dr. Ramin Goshtasbi provides personalized periodontal care to help control infection, protect the gums and supporting bone, and preserve your natural teeth.
Treatment may range from improved preventive care to deep cleaning and laser gum treatment, depending on the health of your gums. We’ll evaluate your condition and recommend the appropriate level of care for your smile.
Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease
Gum disease can progress without causing much discomfort, which makes the early signs easy to overlook.
Common symptoms include:
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Receding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Food frequently getting trapped around the gums
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Changes in the way your teeth fit together
Bleeding gums should not be considered normal. If you regularly notice blood when brushing or flossing, it may be time to have your gum health evaluated.

Why Gum Disease Should Be Treated
Gum disease is caused by bacteria and buildup around and below the gumline. As it progresses, it can damage the tissues and bone that support your teeth.
Without treatment, gum disease may lead to:
- Increased gum recession
- Deeper periodontal pockets
- Bone loss around the teeth
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Tooth loss
Treating gum disease early can help control the condition and protect the foundation of your smile.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease treatment can help control infection, reduce inflammation, and protect the tissue and bone that support your teeth.
At our Carmel Mountain Ranch dental practice, treatment is handled in-house and tailored to the health of your gums and the stage of periodontal disease.
Depending on your needs, care may include professional periodontal cleaning, deeper cleaning below the gumline, and laser-assisted gum treatment.
For appropriate cases, we use the NV PRO3 Microlaser to target unhealthy tissue and bacteria around the gums with precision.
This approach helps preserve healthy surrounding tissue while creating a cleaner environment for the gums to heal. Laser-assisted care can also make treatment more comfortable and less invasive than traditional methods alone.
Early Gum Disease vs. Advanced Gum Disease
Early gum disease, often called gingivitis, may cause redness, swelling, or bleeding without permanent damage to the supporting bone. When gum disease progresses into periodontitis, the infection can begin affecting the tissues and bone that hold the teeth in place. The sooner gum disease is identified, the more opportunity there is to manage it before significant damage occurs.
Protect Your Teeth and Gums
Healthy gums are essential to keeping your natural teeth.
Regular dental care, professional cleanings, daily brushing and flossing, and early treatment of gum problems can all help reduce the risk of periodontal disease progressing.
If you have noticed changes in your gums, waiting for pain is not the best approach. Gum disease can become more advanced before it becomes uncomfortable.
