Recognizing and Treating Gum Disease

Many people are living with gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, and are not aware of it. The first signs of gum disease are red, swollen, and bleeding gums. As the infection progresses and gets deeper into your gums, you may also experience chronic bad breath, receding gums, tooth sensitivity, pain while chewing, and loose teeth. If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to the loss of bone and eventually tooth loss. Gum disease can also affect your overall health, contributing to heart disease, diabetes, respiratory issues, and other serious illnesses.

Dental Partners of Boston can help you control and repair the effects of periodontal disease. In the early stages, gum disease treatment may be fairly simple. In later stages, treatments become more involved. Here are some of the periodontal treatments we offer at Dental Partners of Boston:

What to Expect at Your Periodontal Appointment

During your first appointment, one of our specialists will thoroughly evaluate the condition of your gum health. The doctor will test the depth of the “pockets” in your gums and check for any bone loss or other potential complications. After the examination, the doctor will work with you to implement treatments to eliminate bacteria and promote tissue regeneration. The sooner we take action, the easier the treatment process will be.

Our dentists can control mild cases with deep cleaning below the gum line with a procedure called scaling and root planing. Where significant tissue loss has developed, our dentists conduct soft tissue grafts to maintain proper support of your teeth.

Some patients will be candidates for a laser gum treatment called LANAP, a non-surgical approach to treating advanced cases of gum disease. In cases where teeth have been lost or need to be extracted, we can replace them with functional and attractive dental implants.
