Keep Your Gums Healthy With Gentle Treatment

Our gum disease therapy offers several effective approaches to combat gum inflammation and restore oral health. We provide a range of options tailored to your specific needs:

  • Traditional Scaling and Root Planing – This thorough cleaning method removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, smoothing rough spots on tooth roots to eliminate bacteria and promote healing.
  • Laser-Assisted Scaling and Root Planing – We use advanced laser technology to gently remove infected gum tissue and bacteria, promoting faster healing with less discomfort than traditional methods.
  • Topical Antibiotics – After cleaning, we may apply antibiotic gels directly to infected gum pockets, providing targeted treatment to fight bacteria and speed up the healing process.
  • Antibacterial Irrigation – We use special solutions to flush out bacteria from deep gum pockets, helping to control infection and promote gum health.

Our experienced team will assess your condition and recommend the most suitable combination of these treatments for you. We’ll also provide guidance on improving your at-home oral care routine to maintain the results of your treatment.

With our gum disease treatment, we can stop the progression of gum disease, reduce inflammation, and help you achieve healthier gums and a more confident smile. Early intervention is the key to successful treatment, so don’t hesitate to seek care if you notice any signs of gum problems.

Common Questions About Nonsurgical Gum Disease Treatment
What is nonsurgical gum disease treatment?

Nonsurgical gum disease treatment is designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and under your gumline. Your hygienist or dentist will use special instruments to carefully get your gums back into shape, or they will use a gentle laser to remove damaged gum tissue and seal your gums back at the same time. We may also recommend antibiotics or antibacterial irrigation to help heal your gums.

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 potentially fall out.

Can you cure gum disease at home?

No, you can’t cure gum disease at home – not even in its early stages. Gum disease is caused when bacteria-filled plaque and tartar build up in the area between your teeth and gums. This area can’t be reached with a toothbrush or floss. Using special equipment, your dental team removes all of the bacteria from this area and then smooths your tooth roots to make it difficult for more bacteria to accumulate.
