Gum Disease Treatment at St Albans Family Dental

At St Albans Family Dental, we specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease. Untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other complications. Early treatment is key to managing the condition effectively.

Certain populations, like the Vietnamese community, have a higher risk of gum disease. We offer bilingual care to help all patients manage their gum health.

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease begins with gingivitis, causing swollen, bleeding gums. If untreated, it progresses to periodontitis, where infection spreads to tissues and bone, potentially causing tooth loss.

Signs of Gum Disease:

  • Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing.

  • Swollen, red gums.

  • Bad breath.

  • Receding gums.

  • Loose teeth and painful chewing.

Gum Disease Treatment

  1. Scaling and Root Planing: Deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar below the gum line.

  2. Antibiotics: Used to control bacteria and reduce inflammation.

  3. Maintenance Care: Regular visits help monitor and prevent recurrence.
