What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is an infection of the tissues surrounding your teeth. It begins with plaque buildup—a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. If not addressed, this plaque can harden into tartar, leading to inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and, if untreated, more severe forms of the disease (periodontitis) that can damage the bone supporting your teeth.

Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease

Recognizing the early signs of gum disease can prevent more serious issues. Common symptoms include:

  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Bleeding while brushing or flossing
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Receding gums
  • Loose or shifting teeth

If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek professional care.

Our Gum Disease Therapy Services

At Magnolia Family Dental, we offer a range of effective gum disease therapies tailored to your needs:
1. Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing): Our deep cleaning procedure involves the removal of plaque and tartar from below the gumline. Scaling removes the buildup from the tooth surfaces, while root planing smooths the tooth roots to help the gums reattach to the teeth. This treatment helps in reducing gum inflammation and promoting healing.
2. Antimicrobial Treatments: To further combat bacteria and infection, we may use antimicrobial agents. These can be applied directly to the affected areas or used as part of a more comprehensive treatment plan.
3. Laser Therapy: For a more advanced approach, our laser therapy treatment targets and eliminates bacteria while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissues. This procedure often results in quicker recovery times and less discomfort compared to traditional methods.
4. Periodontal Maintenance: Ongoing care is crucial in managing gum disease. Our periodontal maintenance program includes regular cleanings and check-ups to monitor your gum health and prevent the recurrence of disease.
5. Gum Grafting: In cases where gum recession has occurred, gum grafting can restore lost tissue. This procedure involves taking tissue from another part of your mouth or using a graft material to cover exposed tooth roots and improve the appearance and health of your gums.
