Our team diligently identifies and provides early intervention, while our regular dental cleanings and examinations include thorough preventive care for your gum lines.
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease is the buildup of bacteria and inflammation in the gum line. It can result from inadequate oral care routines, missed dental appointments, genetics, advanced age, or chronic illness. Gum disease can increase the risk of developing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
Symptoms of Gum Disease
Early-stage gum disease may not be apparent, making regular dental check-ups at Scott Condie Dentistry crucial. If you experience any of the following symptoms, schedule an appointment with Dr. Condie immediately:
- Loose teeth
- Tooth and mouth pain
- Receding, swollen, and painful gums
- Bleeding while brushing and flossing
- Mouth sores
- Bad breath
- Pus between teeth
- Ill-fitting dentures
- A change in your bite
Gum Disease Treatment Options
Our team at Scott Condie Dentistry is equipped with the tools, technologies, and expertise to restore your gums to a healthy state. We offer the following periodontal treatments:
Perio Protect®: Custom trays and specialized medication for at-home use can help maintain gum health between check-ups.
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): These standard procedures for treating gingivitis involve deep cleaning below the gum line and smoothing the tooth's surface, removing plaque, bacteria, and acid buildup that can cause gum inflammation. Scaling and root planing promote healthier teeth, gums, and oral health while preventing all stages of gum disease.
Laser Gum Treatments: Dr. Condie utilizes state-of-the-art soft tissue lasers to combat gum disease. These advanced treatments offer increased precision and control, and most patients prefer them due to their faster and less painful nature compared to conventional and surgical gum treatments.
