What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is also called periodontal disease, and it’s an infection of the structures that hold your teeth in place. It starts with gingivitis, causing redness, swelling, and bleeding when you brush. When left untreated, it can turn into periodontitis, which slowly erodes the jawbone around your teeth until they fall out! The tricky part? Gum disease often develops without obvious symptoms. This is why regular checkups and cleanings are so important for catching it early.
Scaling & Root Planing
When gum disease goes deeper than a standard cleaning can reach, scaling and root planing gets the job done. We use this two-step process to carefully remove buildup from below your gumline and smooth the root surfaces to help your gums heal and reattach.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
Our diode soft tissue laser takes gum disease treatment to the next level. Precise and minimally invasive, it targets infected tissue without touching the healthy gums around it. That means less bleeding, faster healing, and better results compared to traditional methods.
