Early Intervention & Advanced Care Will Save Your Smile

When it comes to your gum health, prevention and proactive treatment are key. By paying attention to the warning signs of gum disease, you can avoid more serious infections and protect your smile. During your regular checkups, our team will carefully assess your gums for any areas of concern such as redness, swelling, or pockets between your teeth and gums. If we detect gum disease, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan to eliminate harmful bacteria and restore your gum health.

Our practice uses advanced solutions like guided biofilm therapy (GBT) during all routine appointments. This focuses on eliminating the film (or bacterial deposits) that develop on your teeth and gums. You can expect:

  • Non-Surgical Therapy – Using specialized equipment, your dentist or hygienist will gently remove the harmful biofilm and calculus from your teeth and gum pockets that trigger an infection. The removal process is precise and targeted, focusing on the affected areas while preserving the surrounding gums.
  • Airflow Therapy – After, your dental professional will use an airflow device to deliver a controlled stream of air, water, and fine powder particles. This flushes out any remaining debris and bacteria from your gum pockets and tooth surfaces.
  • Antibacterial Treatment – Your dentist or hygienist will treat your gum tissue with an antibacterial solution. This will reduce inflammation and promote the healing process.
  • Follow-Up Care – Your dentist will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your gum health and ensure proper healing. You will also receive personalized tips to maintain healthy gums and prevent recurrence of gum disease.

Common Questions About Gum Disease Treatment
What causes gum disease?

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 accumulate. In 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.

What are gum disease symptoms?

One symptom that many people notice is gums that bleed when brushing. Other symptoms include gums that look swollen and/or bright red, gums that feel tender, and bad breath that won’t go away. It’s important to seek attention right away when you notice these symptoms. As with many dental problems, it is easier and less expensive to treat gum disease in its early stages.

Can I avoid gum disease?

The best way to avoid gum disease is by practicing good oral hygiene, brushing twice a day and flossing daily as well. It’s also important to visit your dentist for professional dental cleanings at least twice a year. Since smokers are more likely to get gum disease, you’ll lessen your risk if you stop smoking. If you notice any signs of gum disease, notify your dentist right away. Treating it in its early stages will enable you to avoid the tooth loss that can result from advanced gum disease.
