Gum Disease Therapy

Your mouth is the gateway to the body and better health.

Your mouth is the gateway to the body and better health.

Gum disease afflicts up to 50% of people, and this condition is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Gum disease, known as periodontitis, involves bacteria and inflammation that causes irreversible bone deterioration. Periodontitis is also linked to heart disease, arthritis, strokes, and other diseases. We’re committed to strategies, including laser therapy, that helps you maintain your wellbeing.

Most Commonly Asked Questions

Are bleeding gums normal?

Healthy gums don’t bleed! If you notice blood after daily brushing or flossing, consider an evaluation by our team to check the health of your mouth. Bleeding, known as gingivitis, is a sign of early gum disease. We can help you understand the causes and eliminate the inflammation with customized strategies. Our approach includes treatment therapies and homecare techniques that help you control the risk of tooth loss.

How do you treat gum disease?

Periodontitis can be controlled with a proactive approach that reduces harmful oral bacteria. After a thorough diagnosis based on clinical data, we may numb and thoroughly clean your teeth below the gumline in each mouth section. This therapy may take several appointments, and periodic visits every 3-4 months are essential to support your oral health efforts. Daily home care is critical to disease management, and we help you customize your routine for the best results.

Should I be concerned about receding gums?

The gums should cover the root of each tooth, but sometimes gums recede over time. This progression can indicate the underlying bone is deteriorating from gum disease. The tooth may become sensitive and appear longer than usual, which can affect the appearance of your smile, too. You could lose the affected tooth if you lose enough of the bone and firmly attached gum tissue, known as gingiva. Our team will help you determine what’s causing the recession and how it relates to your overall gum health.

What if I have advanced gum disease; will I lose my teeth?

Our goal is to help you maintain your teeth for a lifetime, and we consider every option to help you stay healthy. Periodontitis generally progresses slowly over time, but acute episodes often result in bone defects that may be difficult to treat. If disease activity has left significant bone damage around teeth, we may use surgical techniques to stabilize, recontour, or graft affected areas. When patients face tooth loss, our specialists coordinate care for replacement options that support comfortable chewing and a friendly smile.

How can you help lower my anxiety about dental visits?

Your comfort remains our number one priority at every visit, and we design our care to fit you. First, you’ll find clinicians that know how to genuinely listen and understand your concerns. Second, our team will customize suggestions for each visit. For example, nitrous oxide is a safe, effective sedative that you simply breathe through your nose for fast relaxation.

How does gum disease affect my general health?

Research has established a correlation between gum disease and other conditions affecting quality and length of life in recent years. We don’t know all of the cause-and-effect relationships, but we know that inflamed gums present a simple way for bacteria to enter the bloodstream. Certain microorganisms and their toxins circulate through the body within seconds. Patients with gum disease often have higher systemic inflammatory markers than those without periodontitis. Controlling gum disease benefits your entire body and may help you manage diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers.
