GUM (PERIODONTAL) TREATMENT

It's estimated that more than half of U.S. adults have gingivitis. Gingivitis, in some cases, can lead to periodontitis (gum disease) and host of other health problems.


Gum disease can cause bleeding, swelling, bad breath, pain, receding gums and tooth loss. But it doesn't always stop there. Your oral health is the beginning point for your whole body's health and wellness. It is imperative that we stop problems before they even start!


Gum disease causes a buildup of bacteria in deep pockets between the teeth and gums. That bacteria can transfer to your bloodstream when gums bleed, putting you at much higher risk of developing bigger problems.


Periodontal treatment typically involves containing the infection through deep cleaning like scaling and root planning, clearing buildup at the root of the teeth. The dentist may also suggest specific kinds of toothpaste and mouth rinses. We may also prescribe antibiotics to fight infections. Surgery is required for the most severe cases.


We examine you for gum health at every six months checkup. If you have been experiencing any symptoms like bad breath, bleeding or tender gums, please let us know. We will decide what is the best form of treatment to restore your gums to optimum health.

The following health issues may result from Gum Disease

  • Stroke
  • Respiratory Disease
  • Heart Disease
  • Diabetes
  • Ulcers
  • Osteoporosis
  • Arthritis
  • Pre-Ter Births
