Gum Health
Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease—also known as gum disease or periodontitis—is a serious condition that affects the health of your gums and the supporting structures of your teeth. It begins with inflammation and infection of the gums and, if left untreated, can progress to damage the soft tissue and even the bone that holds your teeth in place.
While periodontal disease is common, it’s also largely preventable. Consistent oral hygiene and routine dental visits are key to keeping your gums healthy and stopping the disease before it starts. When present, early treatment is essential to prevent tooth loss, protect your oral structures, and reduce the risk of related systemic health issues.
Taking care of your gums is taking care of your overall health—don’t wait to address the signs of gum disease.
Treating Gum Disease with Periodontal Therapy
At Aesthetic Dental Group, we offer advanced periodontal therapy to treat gum disease and protect your oral health. Depending on the severity of your condition, treatment may involve non-surgical or surgical options tailored to your specific needs.
The primary goal of periodontal therapy is to eliminate harmful bacteria around the teeth and encourage the healing and regeneration of gum tissue. Treatments may include scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy, flap surgery, bone grafting, gum grafting, or a combination of these approaches.
By addressing gum disease early and effectively, we aim to stop its progression and prevent tooth loss—helping you maintain a healthier smile for life.
