Achieve Healthy Gums with Non-surgical Periodontal Cleaning

Healthy gums are pink, firm, and fit snugly around teeth, protecting them from harmful bacteria. However, gum disease can damage the foundation of your smile (gums), causing numerous unpleasant symptoms and damage.

Here are the symptoms of gum disease:

• Red gums
• Gums that easily bleed when brushing or flossing
• Tender or swollen gums
• Bad breath
• Sensitive teeth
• Receding gums

Gum disease doesn’t end with the above symptoms. Over time, periodontal disease affects the soft tissues and underlying bone, causing bone loss and tooth loss. Worse yet, the infection can seep into the bloodstream, heightening the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other systemic illnesses.

Gum disease can be a serious dental issue if not treated effectively. Deep teeth cleaning is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments that offers numerous benefits.

Some include:

• Stops gum disease at its tracks: Deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline, where regular brushing and cleanings can’t reach. It’s a reliable treatment for mild to advanced gum disease.
• Prevent tooth loss: Untreated gum disease can cause tooth loss. Periodontal treatment protects your teeth-supporting structures to maintain your healthy smile.
• Improved aesthetics: Treating gum recession, swelling, and redness helps you achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
• Lasting fresh breath: Deep cleaning removes harmful bacteria from hard-to-reach areas for a healthy, fresh breath.
• Protect systemic health: Gum disease starts in the mouth, but the infection doesn’t always remain there. An untreated infection can seep into the bloodstream and trigger systemic illnesses. However, scaling and root planing can stop gum disease before it causes widespread damage.
• A stronger foundation for other dental work: Are you preparing for dental implants, crowns, or orthodontics? Deep cleaning helps create a healthier environment for long-term success.
