“I had not been to the dentist in almost 7 years and was dreading the cleaning as all my previous cleanings throughout life were painful, and I assumed after so long it would be worse. The staff was extremely friendly and professional and made me feel comfortable. I experienced no discomfort whatsoever during the cleaning and had a great experience!”

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, can impact your overall dental health. However, an early exam and identifying factors causing gum problems can protect your teeth from untimely damage. When you visit Powers Dental Group, we assess the severity of the damage based on a combination of factors, including the extent of the gum tissue damage, the level of bone loss, and the presence of other risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, and genetic predisposition. Fix an appointment with us and get the gum disease treatment to prevent teeth loss.

What Are the Main Stages of Gum Disease?

It can develop into the following stages if you are experiencing problems with your gums.

Gingivitis: This is the early stage of gum disease, where the gums become inflamed due to the buildup of plaque and bacteria on the teeth. Symptoms of gingivitis include red, swollen, and bleeding gums.

Periodontitis: This is the more advanced stage of gum disease, where the infection has spread deeper into the gums and surrounding bone. You can experience gum recession, tooth loss, and bone loss here.

We advise treating gum disease as early as possible to prevent it from progressing to more severe stages. Good oral hygiene, regular dental cleanings, and a healthy lifestyle can help prevent and treat gum disease.

Treatment Options Available for Gum Disorder

We provide various treatments for gum disease, depending on the severity and stage of the disease. Here are some standard procedures:

Scaling and Root Planing: This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. It also smooths rough spots on the tooth root to eliminate bacteria.

Antibiotics: In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to fight off the infection and reduce inflammation.

Laser Therapy: This involves using a laser to remove diseased tissue and promote healing.

Surgery: In advanced cases of gum disease, surgery may be necessary to remove diseased tissue, reduce pocket depth, and regenerate bone and gum tissue.

Maintenance: Once the gum disease has been treated, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene practices and schedule regular dental checkups to prevent a recurrence.

Please consult with our dentist or periodontist to determine the most appropriate treatment for your case.
