Periodontitis, also known as gum disease, affects nearly half of all adults. When this condition occurs, it is imperative to seek treatment quickly in order to maintain dental health.

When gum disease occurs, the first thing you may notice is swollen gums that may bleed during brushing and flossing. This condition occurs when the gums are exposed to harmful bacteria and plaque. Seeking out treatment immediately is very important, even when the symptoms still seem relatively minor.

If periodontitis is allowed to progress, the gums will soon retract and pull away from the teeth. This creates spaces known as pockets that can become filled with bacteria and plaque. This allows the condition to spread more easily. Left untreated, the condition can reach the jawbone and the connective tissues. The bacteria and plaque can cause the jawbone to deteriorate. As a result, teeth can be lost.

At Vue Dental, we understand how dangerous this condition; therefore we offer a variety of highly effective treatments.

Scaling and Root Planing: Scaling and root planing involves using special tools to reach below the gum line to remove any accumulations of bacteria, tartar and plaque. This is known as scaling. We will then smooth out the rough spots that on the root surfaces to prevent the problem from recurring. This is called root planing. After the treatment is complete, the gums begin to heal and return to normal.

Dental Crown Lengthening: Gum diseases causes oral tissue to become swollen and inflamed. This can lead to an unattractive, “gummy” smile. Dental crown lengthening can address this issue by removing excess gum tissue and exposing more natural tooth. This procedure is effective for one tooth or an entire gum line.

Ridge Preservation: Ridge preservation is conducted after a tooth extraction. A bone graft is placed at the site of the extraction when there is low jawbone density. This will increase the ability to have a successful implant placement in the future.

Bone Grafting: If periodontitis reaches the jawbone, it can cause serious damage. In these cases, the only way to restore the bone is with bone grafting treatment. This involves using special proteins and artificial bone material to strengthen the remaining structure and promote bone growth. After successful treatment, dental implants can be installed to replace missing teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Periodontal services focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease and other conditions that affect the gums and supporting structures of your teeth. These services may include periodontal exams, deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), gum disease treatment, maintenance therapy, and other procedures designed to protect your oral health and preserve your natural teeth.
Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or tender gums, bleeding while brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, and discomfort when chewing. In its early stages, gum disease may not cause noticeable pain, which is why regular dental checkups are important for early detection and treatment.
You should schedule an evaluation if you notice bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, or swollen gums. Even if you don’t have symptoms, regular dental exams can help identify gum disease before it becomes more serious. Early treatment can help protect your gums and reduce the risk of tooth loss.
Scaling and root planing, often called a deep cleaning, is a non-surgical treatment for gum disease. During the procedure, plaque and tartar are removed from below the gumline, and the tooth roots are smoothed to help the gums reattach to the teeth. This treatment helps reduce inflammation, eliminate bacteria, and promote healthier gums.
Most periodontal treatments are performed with local anesthesia to help keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. You may experience mild soreness or sensitivity afterward, but this typically improves within a few days. Your dentist will provide instructions to help you manage any temporary discomfort during recovery.
Gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease, can often be reversed with professional dental cleanings and good oral hygiene at home. More advanced periodontal disease cannot usually be reversed, but it can often be managed successfully with appropriate treatment and ongoing periodontal maintenance to help prevent further damage.
The length of treatment depends on the severity of your gum disease and the type of care needed. Some patients may only require a deep cleaning over one or two visits, while others may benefit from ongoing periodontal maintenance or additional procedures. Your dentist will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your oral health.
The best way to prevent gum disease is to brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and exams. Avoiding tobacco products, maintaining a balanced diet, and managing certain health conditions, such as diabetes, can also help support healthy gums.
