Gum Disease Therapy

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. At our office, we take gum health seriously and offer comprehensive therapy to treat and manage gum disease at every stage. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums caused by plaque and bacteria. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss—but with the right care, it can be controlled and often reversed in its early stages.

 

What to Expect During Gum Disease Therapy

Our team begins with a thorough evaluation of your gums, measuring pocket depths around your teeth and checking for signs of inflammation, bleeding, or infection. Depending on the severity of your condition, we may recommend scaling and root planing—a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the tooth roots to help your gums heal and reattach.

 

For advanced cases, additional treatments may include localized antibiotic therapy, laser therapy, or referral to a periodontal specialist if surgical care is needed. Throughout your therapy, we’ll work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

 

Why Gum Therapy Matters

Gum disease doesn’t just affect your mouth—it has been linked to other health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. By addressing gum disease early, you’re protecting your overall health while preserving your smile.

 

Ongoing Care

After your initial therapy, we may recommend more frequent maintenance cleanings to keep your gums healthy and prevent the disease from returning. Our team will also provide tips for effective brushing, flossing, and at-home care to support your long-term gum health.

 

At our office, we are committed to helping you achieve a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime. If you are experiencing bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or gum tenderness, don’t wait—schedule an appointment with us today.
