Gum Disease Treatment

1.Gum Treatment Program - when plaque and tarter are left on teeth, it creates the right conditions for bacteria to thrive. The bacteria irritates the gums, which means that they bleed more easily. You may notice this while brushing your teeth or eating. This is the early stage of gum disease called gingivitis. If left untreated, the inflammation will work its way down towards the foundations of the tooth creating a “periodontal pocket”. Dr. Smith, Dr. Habeck, and your hygienist will design on individual gum treatment program to stop your gum and bone disease, and help you keep your teeth.

2.Perio Protect - Perio Protect® is a comprehensive method that is customized for individual patients to help manage bacteria growing in the spaces or pockets between teeth and gum tissue.

3.Arestin - Arestin® is an effective antibiotic treatment that comes in powder form. This powder is easily placed inside infected periodontal pockets just after the dental hygienist finishes the scaling and root planing procedure.

4.Laser - Laser treatment can stop gum disease and bone loss, and help your gums reconnect to your teeth.
