SAVE YOUR TEETH WITH TIMELY GUM DISEASE TREATMENT

GUM DISEASE CAN HARM MORE THAN YOUR SMILE

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a severe infection in the gums that progresses relatively quickly. If left untreated, periodontal disease can damage soft tissue and bone tissue to the point that you lose your teeth. Living with gum disease can also put you at risk for system health issues, such as diabetes and heart disease. A growing infection can cause bad breath and make it difficult to brush your teeth without causing bleeding. Early intervention is key to restoring gum health and keeping an infection at bay.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF GUM DISEASE?

Some gum disease symptoms, such as a toothache or inflammation of the gums, can be easily overlooked. We recommend coming in for a checkup if you notice any of the following signs and symptoms of gum disease:

Red, puffy and swollen gums
Persistent bad breath
Tenderness and bleeding of the gums
Loose or shifting teeth
Very sensitive teeth
Receding gums or teeth that appear longer

MINIMALLY INVASIVE TREATMENT OPTIONS

Scaling and Root Planing

When excessive amounts of plaque and tartar have built up below the gum line, the gums start to pull away from the tooth. This is what creates the deep pockets around the tooth, spaces that start to accumulate bacteria and cause an infection. Scaling and root planing goes below the gum line to remove all plaque and tartar buildup. This procedure also involves smoothing out the tooth root so the gums can reattach to the tooth quickly. This is a non-surgical treatment that we offer that is effective for mild cases of gum disease.

Laser Gum Disease Treatment

For moderate to severe cases of gum disease, laser dentistry helps kill more than 99% of infection in the mouth. By simply passing the laser over areas of infection, we can eliminate disease-causing bacteria and help promote healthier gums and tissue. The laser is so gentle and advanced that it only targets diseased areas, so all healthy tissues stay intact.

MAINTENANCE AFTER INITIAL GUM DISEASE TREATMENT

Maintaining healthy gums after you go through gum disease treatment is equally as important as getting the infection treated. Since those who have had gum disease are more at risk for developing periodontal disease again, we need to schedule periodontal maintenance treatments every few months. These deep cleaning sessions help to keep your gums healthy and give us a chance to do a quick checkup.
