Gum disease occurs most frequently when trapped bacteria gets caught in the gums and may lead to periodontitis, bone loss in the mouth or even infection that affects the patient's heart. That's why Scripps Ranch area gingivitis periodontist Dr. Sigafoos looks for early signs of periodontal disease such as bad breath, loose teeth, bleeding gums, and pockets (extra space in between the tooth and the gum).
There's no such thing as gum disease that can be ignored. Even if there are few symptoms in the beginning, the greater concern is the long-term effect that gum disease can have on your mouth and body. That's why at LaJolla Periodontics our caring attitude and years of experience can literally save your beautiful smile - and perhaps even your life!

Millions of adults struggle with hypersensitive teeth, meaning they are sensitive to hot and cold temperatures, very sugary or acidic foods and drinks and vigorous tooth brushing. Above the gum line, dentin is protected with a coating of enamel. Unfortunately, as enamel is worn away or decayed, dentin becomes exposed and receptive to sensations that cause painful nerve responses.
This can also occur as the result of receding gums, a common symptom of gum disease. If your teeth are sensitive, please call LaJolla Periodontics today at (855) 563-7049 to schedule a consultation.
