Gum disease can develop over months or years, starting as mild gingivitis before progressing to advanced periodontitis. Without proper care, bacteria continue to damage gum tissue and bone structure.

Periodontal Disease Care at C W Family Dentistry
Healthy gums are essential for maintaining strong teeth and overall oral health. Periodontal disease treatment targets infections that develop in the gums and supporting bone, often caused by plaque buildup, poor oral hygiene, or underlying health conditions. Early signs include swollen, bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and gum recession.
Addressing gum disease early prevents further damage and helps preserve natural teeth. Our periodontal treatment options include deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) and advanced therapies. Regular checkups and professional cleanings are key in managing gum health and preventing future complications.

Process
Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a thorough examination of your gums, checking for signs of inflammation, recession, or deep periodontal pockets. X-rays may be taken to assess bone loss and the severity of the disease.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the stage of gum disease, we will recommend the appropriate treatment, which may include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antibiotic therapy, or more advanced periodontal procedures.
