Signs of Gum Disease
You may not realize you are suffering from gum disease until you meet with one of our dentists in our Lincoln Park office. Some of the most common symptoms associated with it include:
- Tender and inflamed gum tissue
- Gums bleed when brushing and flossing
- Teeth appear elongated as a result of gum recession
- Gaps forming between teeth
- Loose teeth caused by bone resorption
- Increased tooth sensitivity
Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is effective in removing plaque and tartar buildup so that gum tissues can reattach to teeth and achieve greater health over time. This two-part process is also known as deep cleaning, and it is recommended for patients with moderate to advanced periodontal disease. With the removal of harmful bacteria and plaque from the teeth and gumline, as well as the smoothing of the root to prevent reinfection, our dentists can reduce the risk of potential bone and tooth loss in the future.
Laser Gum Disease Treatment
Unlike a traditional scalpel and suture, laser gum disease treatment provides a minimally invasive, more conservative way to eliminate bad bacteria and diseased gum tissue. Our dentists will use a soft tissue laser that is designed to deliver optimal precision when treating the problem area, all while cauterizing the tissue to minimize bleeding and swelling. The use of this modern device also reduces the chances of possible infection, making recovery easier for patients.
