Smile Freely With Our Gum Disease Treatment

It is important to address gum disease promptly to protect your oral health and total body health. We provide several types of gum disease treatment that will eliminate harmful bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy gum tissue.

Our gum disease treatment options include:

  • Scaling and Root Planing – This deep cleaning procedure involves carefully removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smoothing the root surfaces to prevent bacteria from reattaching. This treatment is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
  • Topical Antibiotics – We may apply antibiotic gels or rinses directly to the affected gum tissue to help eliminate infection-causing bacteria and promote healing. These targeted antibiotics can be used along with scaling and root planing for optimal results.
  • Antibacterial Irrigation – Using a specialized device, we can flush out the periodontal pockets with an antibacterial solution to remove harmful bacteria and debris. This gentle, effective treatment can help reduce inflammation and help healthy gum tissue reattach to the teeth.

No insurance? Ask about our membership club. An annual subscription covers the cost of your exams and cleanings and offers savings on other care.

Common Questions About Nonsurgical Gum Disease Treatment
What is nonsurgical gum disease treatment?

Gum disease treatment is designed to rid your mouth of built-up tartar, plaque, and bacteria that can wreak havoc on your gums. We’ll first use special instruments to clean around and below your gumline where bacteria have collected. Then we’ll smooth your teeth roots to make it harder for bacteria to grow there. This treatment may need to be repeated every few months for best results.

What causes gum disease?

Periodontal (or gum) disease is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that builds up around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth. This creates “pockets” where more bacteria accumulate. In advanced stages, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and possibly fall out.

Can you cure gum disease at home?

No, you can’t cure gum disease at home – not even in its early stages. Gum disease is caused when bacteria-filled plaque and tartar build up in the area between your teeth and gums. This area can’t be reached with a toothbrush or floss. Using special equipment, your dental team removes all of the bacteria from this area and then smooths your tooth roots to make it difficult for more bacteria to accumulate.
