Periodontal and gum disease treatment at Hedgewood Dental in Woodbridge, VA addresses bleeding gums, bad breath, recession, and loose teeth caused by bacterial infection along and below the gum line. Dr. Christine Mai evaluates pocket depths, bleeding scores, and bone levels to recommend the right level of care.

Mild gum disease (gingivitis) often responds to a professional cleaning and improved home care.
