Improve Your Oral Health With Gum Disease Treatment In Weber Corpus Christi

It’s never a good idea to leave a dental problem untreated. That’s especially true with gum disease. In its advanced stages, the disease can result in losing teeth. In fact, it’s the leading cause of tooth loss among adults. With gum disease treatment in Weber Corpus Christi, our periodontist (a gum specialist) will halt the infection before this can happen.

Our treatment will:

  • Keep your gums from receding, which exposes tooth roots and endangers your oral health
  • Lower your risk of problems associated with gum disease, including diabetes and heart disease
  • Stop bleeding gums, bad breath, and other unpleasant symptoms
  • Avoid the need for gum grafts or other surgical procedures

Our dentists will look for evidence of gum disease during every exam so we can treat it before it becomes more serious. In the meantime, don’t ignore bleeding gums or other gum disease symptoms. Call us today at 361-209-8741 for treatment.

Prevent Gum Disease Progression With Proactive Treatment

Gum disease is very common, with more than 3 million cases a year in the U.S. alone. Fortunately, few of those cases advance to periodontitis, an advanced stage where you are at risk of losing teeth. Periodontal disease happens when bacteria builds up between your teeth and gums. We use a two-part treatment called scaling and root planing to:

  • Eliminate infection by removing the bacteria
  • Shrink “pockets,” gaps between teeth and gums where bacteria can collect
  • Smooth out rough tooth roots to make them less hospitable to bacteria

We keep the procedure as comfortable as possible with Oraqix topical local anesthesia. You can also receive fast-acting laughing gas. If you’d prefer to be in an even more relaxed state, our periodontist can also provide a deeper level of sedation if needed.

Repair Receding Gums With A Graft Or Other Treatment

Done early enough, a scaling and root planing treatment will keep your gums from receding. However, if you have recession due to disease or something else, our dentists can:

  • Perform a gum graft to cover exposed tooth roots
  • Refer you to our Calallen location in Corpus Christi, where you can receive a less-invasive procedure called the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique

Common Questions About Gum Disease Treatment

Your gum disease treatment ought to be pain-free. Your dentist or hygienist will utilize a product called Oraqix that will quickly numb your gums so that you don’t feel any discomfort throughout your treatment. We also use IV sedation and inhaled sedation, or laughing gas, that will get rid of any dental anxiety you might be feeling.

Germs in your mouth feed on food particles that get trapped in between your teeth and under your gums. Gradually, these germs can create inflammation and pockets of infection beneath your gumline. Left untreated, these pockets can become unpleasant, leading to bleeding when you brush or floss and ultimately even missing teeth.

For a lot of gum disease treatments, it will take about an hour. Your doctor or hygienist will thoroughly get rid of all the built-up tartar and plaque from around and underneath your gumline so that your gums can start to heal. Depending on your circumstances, your treatment time could be longer or much shorter.
