Periodontal Gum Care

At Heathmont Dental, we understand that healthy gums are key to a healthy smile. Our periodontal care services focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease to protect the health of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. Whether you’re in the early stages of gingivitis or experiencing advanced periodontitis, our experienced team is here to help restore and maintain your gum health.

Why is Periodontal Care Essential?

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection caused by plaque buildup along the teeth and gums. Left untreated, it can progress from gingivitis to periodontitis, leading to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss. At Heathmont Dental, we’re dedicated to helping our patients prevent and treat gum disease for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Recognizing the Signs That You May Need Periodontal Treatment

Gum disease can develop without noticeable symptoms, but there are some warning signs to watch for. Reach out to Heathmont Dental if you notice any of the following:

Red, swollen, or tender gums
Bleeding during brushing or flossing
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste
Receding gums or teeth that look longer
Loose or shifting teeth

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, early periodontal care can prevent further damage and restore your gum health.

Our Periodontal Treatments

At Heathmont Dental, we offer a full range of periodontal treatments to protect and treat your gums, tailored to your specific needs:

Scaling and Root Planing

This non-surgical deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, helping your gums reattach to your teeth. Scaling and root planing is essential for treating early-stage gum disease.

Antibiotic Therapy for Gum Disease

We may use antibiotics to help reduce bacteria and prevent infection as part of your gum disease treatment. Our team will recommend either a topical gel or an oral medication to complement your periodontal care.

Advanced Periodontal Surgery

For advanced gum disease, surgical treatments such as flap surgery and gum grafting can remove deep tartar and restore lost gum tissue. These procedures are designed to improve both function and appearance.

Laser Therapy for Gum Disease

Laser therapy is a minimally invasive treatment option for infected gum tissue. This advanced technique promotes faster healing, minimizes discomfort, and is an effective alternative to traditional surgery.

Why Periodontal Care is Vital for Your Overall Health

Investing in your gum health benefits not only your smile but also your overall wellness. Studies show that gum disease has links to other health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes. Our periodontal care can help reduce these risks by lowering inflammation in the body.
