Gum disease is a broad term that can range from a mild case with plaque and tartar build up to severe cases that result in tooth loss and gum tissue damage. Fortunately, for more mild cases, good home dental care coupled with regular cleanings can address those needs. If not treated, our dental staff provides professional and deep cleaning partnered with antibiotic treatment. Severe cases of gum disease could require surgery. In order to prevent severe gum disease and surgical treatment, be sure to perform good dental care at home and receive regular dental cleanings. If you’re concerned about gum diseases, call today to set up an appointment to discuss prevention and treatment options.
