Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong and beautiful smile. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that can lead to serious oral health complications if left untreated. Our dentists and team provide professional gum disease treatment to help patients protect their oral health and maintain a confident smile.
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease develops when plaque and bacteria accumulate along the gumline, causing inflammation and infection. Without proper treatment, it can progress from mild gingivitis to more severe periodontitis, which can lead to gum recession, tooth loss and other health concerns.
Common signs of gum disease include:
- Red, swollen or tender gums
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums or teeth appearing longer
- Loose teeth or changes in bite alignment
Early detection and treatment are essential in preventing further damage. Our team provides thorough evaluations to diagnose gum disease and develop personalized treatment plans based on each patient’s needs.
Effective Gum Disease Treatment
Our dentists and team offer professional treatments to manage and control gum disease. Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment options may include deep cleaning techniques, medication or other advanced procedures to restore gum health. The goal of treatment is to eliminate infection, promote healing and prevent future complications.
In addition to in-office treatments, we emphasize the importance of good oral hygiene habits. Patients receive guidance on oral hygiene techniques, as well as any other recommendations for maintaining gum health at home. Regular dental checkups at Prime Dental Group also play a crucial role in preventing gum disease from progressing.
