What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums that can affect your overall oral health. It starts with plaque buildup on your teeth, which can lead to swollen, bleeding gums. If left untreated, gum disease can progress to more serious issues, including tooth loss. But don’t worry! With the right treatment and care, we can help you restore your gum health and keep your smile shining.

Types of Treatments

Non-Surgical Treatments+

Scaling and Root Planing- This deep cleaning procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. Root planing smooths the surfaces of the roots, making it harder for bacteria to adhere. Antibiotics- Localized antibiotic treatments, such as gels or oral antibiotics, may be prescribed to help control bacterial infections and reduce inflammation. Oral Hygiene Education- Our dental team will provide guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques to help maintain optimal oral hygiene.

Surgical Treatments+

Flap Surgery (Pocket Reduction Surgery)- If pockets around the teeth remain too deep after non-surgical treatments, flap surgery may be performed. This involves lifting back the gums to remove tartar and reduce pocket depth.
