Healthy gums are vital not only for your oral health but for your overall well-being. Neglecting gum disease can lead to serious complications, including an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health conditions.
Thankfully, gum disease is treatable, and you don’t have to live with the discomfort of infected gums.
During your visit, your dentist will evaluate the severity of your condition and recommend treatments such as scaling and root planing to eliminate plaque and tartar buildup.
Additional treatments, like antibacterial irrigation or topical antibiotics, may be needed to further restore gum health and prevent recurring issues.
Our practice offers a range of non-surgical treatments to address gum disease while prioritizing your comfort and recovery.
Scaling and root planing, combined with laser-assisted techniques, can effectively treat infection and promote healthier gums. Antibacterial irrigation and topical antibiotics can target bacteria, helping to freshen breath and improve gum health.
Depending on your individual needs, follow-up visits may be recommended to ensure long-term success. Our team delivers high-quality care to protect your gum health and support your overall wellness.

Your dentist will help decide on the right type of treatment based on your needs.
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that builds up around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating “pockets” where more bacteria accumulates. In the advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and possibly fall out.
You may not see the signs of gum disease on your own until its advanced stages, which is why it is often referred to as a silent killer. It’s also why your routine dental exams are so important. The earlier you spot periodontal infection, the easier it is to manage and, in many cases, reverse. Common symptoms to look for include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums, loose teeth, and persistent bad breath.
