Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease doesn’t just affect your smile; it impacts your overall health. We offer comprehensive gum disease treatment to help reverse damage, stop progression, and restore oral wellness. Our knowledgeable staff is here to help you at any stage, whether you have severe periodontitis or are just beginning to deal with gingivitis.

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, often called periodontal disease, is an inflammation of the tissues around your teeth. Usually, it begins with gingivitis, or plaque accumulation that irritates and inflames the gums. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which damages bone and leads to tooth loss.

Stress, heredity, smoking, poor dental care, and diabetes are common reasons. Regular dental visits with a gum specialist near you can help catch and treat gum disease before it worsens.

Benefits of Gum Disease Treatment

Preserve your natural teeth by preventing bone and tissue loss

Fresh breath and a cleaner mouth with reduced plaque and tartar

Protect dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and implants from damage

Support your overall health, as untreated gum disease is linked to heart disease and diabetes

Signs You Might Need Gum Disease Treatment

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums: A common early sign of gingivitis or periodontitis.
  • Chronic bad breath: A Persistent odor that doesn’t go away with brushing or mouthwash.
  • Loose or shifting teeth: May indicate bone loss or advanced gum disease.
  • Receding gums: Teeth look longer due to the gums moving away from them.
  • Pain while chewing or brushing: Discomfort or sensitivity when eating or cleaning teeth.
  • Pus between teeth and gums: A sign of infection that needs immediate attention.

Process of Getting a Gum Disease Treatment

Getting a dental filling is a simple, low-stress procedure at our clinic. Here’s what you can expect:

 

Initial Consultation

Our dentist will examine your gums and take X-rays to assess bone loss.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Depending on the severity, your plan may include deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), antibiotics, or referrals to a periodontist near you.

Scaling & Root Planing

This non-surgical cleaning below the gumline removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria. It helps gums reattach to teeth.

Ongoing Maintenance

After treatment, regular visits for periodontal maintenance are key to keeping the disease from returning.

Advanced Treatments (If Needed)

In more severe cases, surgical treatments like flap surgery or tissue grafts may be recommended to restore lost gum tissue.
