What Causes Gum Disease?

Gum disease is caused by plaque buildup along the gum line. Plaque buildup occurs from food or beverages that get caught between the teeth. The foods or beverages that get stuck between the teeth feed plaque bacteria, and the plaque makes the gums inflamed. This inflammation is the start of gum disease.

How Is Gum Disease Treated?

There are five stages of gum disease; and with each stage, the severity increases. Stage 1 is quite mild, and stage 5 is severe. At stage 1, you may be experiencing bleeding gums when you brush or floss. Your gums may also look red or swollen.

In order to treat these symptoms, we could prescribe brushing and flossing more frequently and a medicated rinse to help kill the bacteria causing the infection. We will also carry out oral cleaning and root planing if required.

How Can I Prevent Gum Disease?

Gum disease occurs when the gums become inflamed and infected. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is caused by bacteria and plaque buildup. The best way to prevent gum disease is to practice good oral hygiene habits. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your Dentist Colorado Springs CO for regular checkups.

Who Is at Risk for Gum Disease?

The short answer is everyone. But, there are certain factors that put some people at higher risk for gum disease.

I am a fearful dentist patient. This place has made my experience much less fearful. The kindness & thorough attention is amazing from this dentist. He helped me feel so comfortable and unashamed about my missing teeth and gum disease. They are willing to work with me and are very patient with me as it seems to take me a few months to return. I have much anxiety about the dentist office, especially with no dental insurance. The ladies at the front desk are so friendly & courteous. The office has a very relaxed feel and no condemnation about the poor condition of my mouth. Instead, nothing but assurance that they can help me and we can take it as slowly or as fast as I want or can afford. The dentist really took his time with me and it allowed me to feel not rushed. I would highly recommend this dentist whether you just need routine care or higher level of care as my teeth & gums require. This place has felt like a 2nd home to me and I have nothing but anxiety over the dentist office. This place has acknowledged my anxiety and they don’t try to push it aside but instead work with it and with me. I greatly appreciate that.

Dr Moore installed a crown on my new “experimental” dental implant in about 1991. Shortly after that, I moved away from the Colorado Springs area. Recently, (April 2024) this crown began feeling a bit loose. Since the crown and implant were so old (obsolete?), my local dentist was unsure of the hardware configuration, and dental records from that long ago were seeming unavailable. I was able to locate Dr. Moore and I was very happy and relieved to find that he was still practicing. However, he was no longer at the same office and he also did not have the “ancient” dental records available. I made an appointment with Dr. Moore, traveled to Colorado Springs, and upon looking at the crown, he quickly identified the hardware and addressed the problem. There’s nobody that I would trust more than Dr. Moore to care for this dental implant and crown.

This is a WONDERFUL clinic! I use to hate going to the dentist, wouldn’t go for years due to a bad experience at another dentist clinic. Then I found this clinic a couple years ago.This is a small clinic, they not just care about you as a patient but treat you as family. I most recently was going thru some other medical issues and I received a card in the mail with a little get well note from everyone. It meant a lot to me to receive that in the mail. They greet me by name when I come in. I have never really had to wait more than 5 minutes. If I did they would send someone out to give me update on how much longer the wait would be. Everyone in the clinic has smiles and is sociable, even the doctors. Very relaxed environment. My teeth went from a complete mess to feeling and looking good! And the heated toilet seat in the bathroom is great on a cold winter day ????. I love this clinic!

Highly professional dental practice. The entire team is consistently positive and dedicated to providing the best care possible. Sofia, in particular, is an outstanding professional. From my very first visit, she has taken exceptional care of me with her empathy, understanding, and expertise.

Great service, wonderful people…really do feel taken care of here. Dr Hill is a good guy, seems to take a real interest in getting things right and Sofia is great, too…real clear about what it is she’s doing and why she’s doing it….cant say enough good things about them. Worked with my particular set of needs and sent me away happier than when I showed up…rare for a dentist in my opinion.

Dr Moore is remarkably caring and attentive. My teeth don’t fit together well, and Dr Moore is reaching out to my orthodontist to work on my behalf. Abby is a highly proficient dental hygienist. My teeth are sensitive to ultrasound, and Abby worked to minimize discomfort, while still doing a great job of cleaning my teeth.
