For Tysons residents seeking gum disease treatment, our board-certified periodontists provide exceptional results at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in Reston.

The short 15-minute drive from Tysons to our Reston office is well worth it for the level of specialized gum disease treatment care our periodontists deliver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gum Disease FAQ for Tysons Patients
What are the early warning signs of gum disease?
Early gum disease (gingivitis) causes red, swollen gums that bleed when you brush or floss. You may also notice persistent bad breath, a bad taste in your mouth, or gums that appear puffy along the tooth line. These symptoms are often painless, which is why regular dental checkups are essential for early detection.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Gingivitis (early-stage gum disease) is fully reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. However, once it progresses to periodontitis — where bone loss has occurred — the damage cannot be reversed, only managed. Treatment focuses on halting progression and maintaining the remaining bone and attachment levels.
Is gum disease linked to heart disease and diabetes?
Yes. Research has established strong associations between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory infections, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. The chronic inflammation and bacteria from gum disease can enter the bloodstream and contribute to systemic inflammatory conditions.
How often should I see a periodontist if I have gum disease?
Patients with active or history of periodontitis should have periodontal maintenance visits every three to four months rather than the standard six-month dental cleanings. This more frequent schedule allows for early detection of disease recurrence and removal of bacterial biofilm before it can cause further damage.
