Gentle Care Family Dental understands that healthy gums are necessary for a beautiful smile, and they are also fundamental for the strengthening of the oral foundation. The periodontal treatments designed by the practice, therefore, prevent, manage, and treat gum disease at every stage-from pre-gum disease to a painful smile.
What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums and bone supporting your teeth. Nearly always, it begins as gingivitis—red swollen gums that may bleed easily. If untreated, it will progress into periodontitis, which will result in more gum recession, loss of bone, and eventually tooth loss.
Signs You Might Need Periodontal Treatment
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
Perpetual bad breath
Loose, shifting teeth
Gum recession (teeth appearing longer)
Pain when chewing
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, schedule a visit as soon as possible.
Our Periodontal Services Will Include:
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
This is a non-surgical treatment that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the roots to facilitate healing and reattachment of the gums.
Antibiotic Therapy
We may also use localized antibiotics to reduce the bacteria and inflammation in the diseased gum areas.
Laser Gum Therapy
Our advanced lasers carry this out with precision on the infected gum tissue, causing the least possible discomfort during the healing process.
Maintenance Cleanings
After the primary treatment, an increased cleaning frequency will be used for relapse prevention and close gum health monitoring.
Gum Surgery (as needed)
For advanced cases, we collaborate with periodontal specialists to provide surgical solutions such as flap surgery or gum grafting.
