Periodontal Therapy You Can Trust

Did you know that over 75% of American adults live with mild to advanced stages of gum disease? Symptoms can begin subtly, and in some cases may not be noticed at all without a professional examination. However, the progression of symptoms can happen rapidly, so it’s important to consult with a dental professional if you begin noticing any signs of discomfort.

Periodontal therapy for gum disease should begin as early as possible, for the sake of your smile and overall oral health. To address bleeding or swollen gums, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation today. Give us a call at (972) 525-2822 to see how our Frisco periodontal therapy services can benefit you. 

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease is another name for gum disease. This condition develops when the gum tissue becomes infected due to improper dental hygiene. Symptoms of periodontal disease may cause the gums to become swollen, change color, or bleed.

As time passes, the bacteria in the gums will start to attack the tissues that keep the teeth anchored in place, eventually causing them to become loose. It’s possible to reverse mild cases of gum disease with proper oral hygiene habits; however, after it reaches the advanced stages, patients require professional periodontal therapy treatments.

Treating Periodontal Disease

Treating Periodontal Disease

Blue Star Smiles offers effective periodontal therapy plans for patients in need. Periodontal therapy is a dental treatment that helps to improve the health of an individual’s teeth, gums, and supporting structures around the teeth. It involves cleaning the gum line to remove plaque and tartar buildup, as well as eliminating infection sites.

Understanding Scaling and Root Planing for Gum Health

Scaling and root planing are actually considered to be part of the same deep-cleaning process designed specifically to remove the plaque and tartar that contribute to gum disease. This process focuses specifically on removing harmful bacteria from the area around and beneath the gum line, in order to give the gums a chance to heal. We’ll also smooth out the tooth roots, creating a surface that’s harder for plaque to accumulate on.

Advanced Grafting Techniques for Gum Tissue Restoration

Periodontal therapy may also involve grafting techniques to replace lost gum tissue around a patient’s teeth. This treatment can help reduce gum disease by removing bacteria and preventing future damage caused by buildup. If needed, we may also prescribe antibiotic therapy following an in-office gum disease treatment. Even the most thorough deep cleaning won’t necessarily remove bacteria that is hiding in the deepest part of the gums, so antibiotic therapy takes care of the rest. Antibiotic prescriptions will be dependent upon the severity of your condition and accompanying symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Periodontal Therapy Painful?

Most periodontal procedures are minimally invasive and can be performed with local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. While some discomfort may be experienced after the procedure, it can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How Long Does Periodontal Therapy Take?

The duration of periodontal therapy varies depending on the severity of the gum disease and the specific treatment plan. Simple procedures like scaling and root planing may take a few hours, while more complex surgeries may require multiple appointments.

What are the long-term effects of untreated gum disease?

Untreated gum disease can lead to serious health problems, including tooth loss, bone loss, and increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

How can I prevent gum disease at home?

To prevent gum disease, it is important to brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and use a mouthwash.

“Came here to get a retainer and I’m really liking their 3D scanner for your teeth over doing impressions. It’s a lot faster and less uncomfortable. I really like how they care about how YOU want your smile to look, instead of telling you. I was also given very helpful advice about my TMJ and how I can work to fix it!! ”
