Recover From Periodontal Problems With Our Solutions
You likely have gingivitis if your gums are sore, bright red, or bleeding. This can be uncomfortable. If left untreated you could develop advanced gum disease, also known as periodontitis. That can lead to bone and tooth loss. It can also put you at risk of heart disease, stroke, and other overall health issues.
We want to keep you as healthy as can be, which is why preventive care is a major part of our general dentistry. When you need additional care, we can do these things:
Scaling — Think of this as a deeper cleaning than you get during a routine checkup. To fight gum infections, we remove plaque and tartar from between your teeth and gums, particularly in “pockets” where bacteria can accumulate.
Root Planing — Smoothing the surface of your roots helps in two ways. First, bacteria have a harder time clinging to a smooth surface. Second, this makes it easier for your gums to reattach to your teeth.
Laser Treatment — If you have a serious infection, a dental laser is a gentle and effective way to remove the “bad” tissue while sealing healthy tissue without stitches.
Gum Grafting — Receding gums can occur as a result of periodontitis. Gum grafting can restore your gumline. We may also refer you to our Calallen Corpus Christi location. That location has a periodontist who can perform the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique, which is a less invasive alternative to a graft.
