Restore Your Gum Health with Nonsurgical Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults.

Red, swollen, painful, or bleeding gums mean that you may have gum disease. But in some cases, you may not have any noticeable symptoms.

Bacteria in plaque can infect your gums, causing them to become irritated and painful. If you don't treat the infection, it can lead to the destruction of the connective tissue and the jawbone. More advanced cases result in shifting teeth, loose teeth, and tooth loss.

Keeping Your Periodontal Disease Treatment Comfortable

Orange Park Dentistry uses high-tech tools to keep your periodontal disease treatment painless and comfortable.

For teeth scaling, we numb the gums and tooth roots with local anesthesia, and the procedure only causes minimal discomfort. Our dentist and dental hygienists use specialized tools to remove the hardened deposits of tartar (plaque) from the teeth above and below the gum line. They also perform root planing to smooth rough spots on the teeth's roots. The rough spots promote gum disease by trapping and holding bacteria.

The whole procedure usually requires a single visit, but we may need to spread the treatment over a series of appointments depending on the severity of the buildup. You may experience some tenderness in your gums once the anesthesia wears off.

It's essential to maintain an oral health routine of twice-daily brushing and once-daily flossing, so your gums regain a firm, healthy, pink appearance.
