Gum and Periodontal Disease Treatments
Your gums are important to your oral health. If you have gingivitis or periodontal disease, A & A Dental Center can help you with our effective gum treatments. We provide you with a treatment plan to address your gum issues and maintain good dental hygiene.
Gingivitis can be reversed in its early stages with good oral hygiene practices and regular cleanings, but there is no cure for periodontal disease. Periodontal disease can cause receding gums, tooth loss, and jawbone deterioration. Our treatments can slow these damaging effects.
Effective Treatment Options for Periodontal Disease
We can remove damaging plaque and food particles from deep gum pockets with our scaling and root planing treatments. Once we remove plaque below the gum line, we can smooth out the tooth roots for better protection.
To fight against gingivitis and periodontal
disease, we recommend brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and having regular dental cleanings and exams every six months.
