Gum Infection Therapy
Restore Your Gums. Heal the Infection. Protect Your Smile.
Bleeding when you brush? Bad breath that keeps coming back? Tender or swollen gums?
These can be signs that harmful bacteria are affecting the health of your gums.
At Pomona Smile Studio, our Gum Infection Therapy is designed to remove harmful buildup and infection, help your gums heal, and protect your smile from future damage.
Restore. Heal. Protect.
What Is Gum Infection?
Gum infection, often associated with gum disease or periodontal disease, happens when harmful bacteria and buildup collect around and below the gumline.
Without treatment, the infection can continue to damage the gums and bone that support your teeth.
Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
You may need a gum evaluation if you notice:
- Bleeding gums
- Red or swollen gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum tenderness or inflammation
- Receding gums
- Loose teeth
More advanced gum disease can lead to bone loss and tooth loss. Gum infection can also put dental implants at risk.
Early treatment can help control the infection and protect your smile.

Which Gum Infection Therapy Is Right for Me?
You don’t have to figure that out by yourself.
Dr. Lin will evaluate the condition of your gums, including signs of infection and the depth of your gum pockets, and recommend the appropriate level of care.
Why Treat Gum Disease Early?
Gum disease can progress even when a tooth doesn’t hurt.
As the infection advances, it can damage the gums and supporting bone around your teeth.
Treatment is designed to help:
- Control gum infection
- Reduce harmful buildup below the gums
- Improve gum health
- Protect the bone supporting your teeth
- Reduce bleeding and inflammation
- Improve persistent bad breath related to gum infection
- Lower the risk of loose teeth and tooth loss
- Protect your natural smile
Our goal is simple:
Help you keep your teeth for life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my gums bleed when I brush?
Bleeding can be a sign of gum inflammation or gum disease. A gum evaluation can help determine what is causing the bleeding and whether treatment is needed.
Can gum disease cause bad breath?
Gum infection and bacteria around or below the gumline can contribute to persistent bad breath. Treating the infection and buildup may help improve it.
What is a deep cleaning?
A deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, including areas that cannot be adequately cleaned with a routine dental cleaning.
Does gum disease cause bone loss?
As gum disease progresses, it can damage the bone and tissues that support your teeth. This is one reason treating gum infection before it becomes more advanced is important.
Can gum disease make my teeth loose?
Advanced loss of the supporting tissues and bone around a tooth can cause the tooth to become loose and may eventually lead to tooth loss.
How do I know which treatment I need?
Dr. Lin will evaluate your gums and recommend Restore, Heal, or Protect based on your individual gum health and treatment needs.
