Gum Disease Treatment

At Randolph Family Dentistry, your oral health is always our top priority. One of the most common issues we treat is gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. This condition occurs when bacteria and plaque build up along the gumline, causing inflammation, bleeding, and, if left untreated, damage to the bone and tissues that support your teeth. Early detection and treatment are essential to protecting both your smile and your overall health.

 

Our gum disease therapy is designed to stop the progression of the disease, restore gum health, and prevent future problems. Treatment often begins with a deep cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing. During this process, we carefully remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooth the tooth roots to help gums reattach and heal. In some cases, additional treatments—such as localized antibiotics or advanced periodontal procedures—may be recommended depending on the severity of the disease.

 

Our team takes every step to ensure your comfort throughout treatment. We use modern techniques and gentle care to make your experience as stress-free as possible. Following therapy, we’ll also work closely with you to develop a personalized maintenance plan that includes professional cleanings and at-home care tips to keep your gums healthy long-term.

 

Gum disease is a serious condition, but with proper treatment, it is manageable. If you’ve noticed signs such as bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession, we encourage you to schedule an appointment. Together, we can protect your smile and help you maintain strong, healthy gums for years to come.
