Many patients neglect their gum health by assuming brushing and flossing are enough to avoid gum disease. This is usually not the case.
Bacteria growth on the gums is the primary cause of gum disease. Pain, inflammation or bleeding are all signs of gum disease. It can progress from the gum line to damage the tissue and bone that supports our teeth. The best way to prevent gum disease is through routine dentist visits and early treatment at the first sign of problems.
Alma Smiles uses a combination of methods to treat and prevent gum disease and teaches you the fundamentals of good gum hygiene. While at the dental practice, your gums will be scraped and thoroughly cleaned. If there are any signs of disease, we will recommend a course of treatment to clear it up.
This may include non-surgical periodontal therapy using special cleaning equipment or anti-microbial medicines followed by scaling and root planning. Make an appointment if you experience bleeding, puffiness, recession, discharge or pain. Loose teeth or dentures, painful chewing, and chronic bad breath are other warning signs.
We offer all kinds of periodontal procedures. We offer consultations for assessment and treatment planning. Quotes for treatment are given on a case-by-case basis.
