Clean Gums Are Healthy Gums

Gum disease arises from plaque and bacteria under the gums, affecting the support structures of the tooth. What we can do is get down there and cleanse the area. By cleansing it, it allows your body to heal itself and come back to health. Things you may notice after a periodontal treatment, better breath, whiter teeth, and better overall well-being.

Treating gum disease will:

  • Stop uncomfortable symptoms like gum tenderness and bleeding gums
  • Potentially lower your risk of health conditions associated with gum disease, including diabetes and heart disease
  • Restore the healthy pink appearance of your gums for a more attractive smile
  • Allow you to brush and floss your teeth without pain or bleeding
  • Help you avoid the more serious effects of the disease, including bone and tooth loss

We’ll check for signs of disease during every dental exam. However, if you suspect you may have gum disease, call us ASAP at 954-255-5166. The sooner we can treat it, the better! Gum disease symptoms include bleeding gums, gum tenderness, and bad breath that won’t go away.

Keep Disease From Progressing With a Deep Cleaning

Gum disease is caused by bacteria that gets in between your teeth and gums. Once there, it creates “pockets” where even more bacteria can accumulate. Left untreated, your gums begin pulling away from teeth. The disease also begins to break down the tissue and bone that keep your teeth in place.

Our team can stop the disease from progressing with a two-part cleaning treatment called scaling and root planing:

  • During scaling, we remove bacteria from above and below your gumline.
  • With root planing, we smooth out your tooth roots to help your gums reattach to teeth and also to make it difficult for bacteria to collect.

Prevent Gum Disease With Consistent Oral Hygiene

The best way to prevent gum disease is with good oral hygiene:

  • Brush at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste.
  • Floss once a day.
  • See us every six months for professional dental cleanings.

If you’re tempted to skip regular cleanings because of a lack of dental insurance, join our dental membership plan. Low monthly payments cover the cost of your annual routine care, including two cleanings a year. Plus, you’ll receive a discount on our other services. We offer memberships for adults, children (12 and younger), and adults who have been diagnosed with gum disease (which includes three to four cleanings a year).

Common Questions About Gum Disease Treatment

There can be some discomfort with the deep-cleaning treatment that removes the bacteria that causes gum disease. We will thoroughly numb your mouth with local anesthesia prior to your procedure so you won’t feel a thing. In addition, Dr. Nelson may sometimes use a laser to make your treatment quicker and more comfortable.

The most obvious symptoms of early-stage disease are gums that bleed when brushing and gum tenderness. Other common symptoms include chronic bad breath and gums that look red instead of pink. In the later stage of the disease, you may notice receding gums and teeth that feel loose. It’s important to seek treatment when you first begin experiencing symptoms. As the disease progresses, you’re at risk of losing teeth.

The length of treatment depends largely on the severity of your disease. We can usually complete treatment in either one or two visits. Following your scaling and root planing treatment, we will also recommend you see us more often for cleanings to ensure your disease doesn’t return. You’ll want to visit our office every three months in the year after your initial treatment.

In its early stages, gum disease causes tenderness and bleeding but no serious dental issues. If left untreated, though, it can progress to a stage that causes bone and tooth loss. In fact, gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults. The best course of action is to seek treatment at the first signs of 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 build ups 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 accumulates. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and possibly fall out.
