Healthy Gums = A Healthy Smile — Let’s Protect the Foundation of It All
Your gums do more than hold your teeth in place — they’re the foundation of your oral health and directly linked to your overall well-being. At Tidelands Dental, we take periodontal health seriously, because treating gum disease early can save your teeth, protect your bone structure, and even lower your risk of systemic health problems.
Whether you’re noticing bleeding gums or have been diagnosed with periodontal disease, we offer advanced, in-house gum care and deep cleaning solutions that are effective, comfortable, and designed for long-term results.

- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Gum recession and tooth sensitivity
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Bone loss in the jaw
- Tooth loss
- Increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and more
