Swollen, red and bleeding gums are signs of an unhealthy mouth. In addition to bad breath, these conditions can affect your total body health, contributing to heart disease and other serious illnesses. Thanks to the many advanced treatments we offer, can help you reverse — and manage — your periodontal disease. We can create an effective outcome that you will enjoy for years to come.
Gum disease is a serious oral health issue that, if left untreated, can eventually lead to tooth loss.
Periodontal care begins with a thorough examination of the patient’s teeth and gums. We establish whether there has been any breakdown in gum tissue and whether pockets have formed between teeth and gums. We also take X-rays of the patient’s mouth to determine whether there has been any bone loss below the gum line. If necessary, we can treat gum disease by removing microbial plaque and calculus deposits below the gum line. For more advanced gum disease, periodontal surgery may be necessary.
We also administer Arestin after scaling and root planing, a common procedure used to treat periodontal disease. Arestin™ (minocycline HCl 1mg) microspheres is a treatment for chronic periodontitis, an infection of the gums, that can lead to tooth loss and may be linked to other serious diseases such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and diabetes.
When used together with scaling and root planing, Arestin significantly reduces the depth of infected pockets and helps prevent disease progression. A combined therapy of Arestin plus scaling and root planing is more effective at fighting periodontal disease than scaling and root planing alone.
Our dedication to extraordinary patient care and comfort ensures high-quality results with a gentle touch. Make an appointment to find out more about how we can help keep your gums healthy.
