Why Is Gum Health Important?
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It starts as simple inflammation (gingivitis) but can progress to severe bone loss and infection if not treated early. At The Dental Studio, we focus on saving your natural teeth by restoring the health of your supporting tissues.
- Stops bleeding and swollen gums
- Prevents recession and sensitivity
- Eliminates persistent bad breath (halitosis)
- Protects against bone loss around tooth roots
- Reduces risk of systemic health issues (heart/diabetes)
The Mouth-Body Connection
Chronic gum infection is linked to a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Treating your gums isn't just about your smile—it's about your whole health.
Do You Have These Symptoms?
Bleeding Gums
Bleeding during brushing or flossing is a primary sign of gingivitis.
Loose Teeth
As bone loss progresses, teeth may feel loose or shift out of place.
Bad Breath
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth despite cleaning.
Our Periodontal Treatments
Scaling & Root Planing
A deep cleaning process that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the tooth roots to help gums reattach.
Laser Gum Therapy
Minimally invasive treatment using dental lasers to decontaminate periodontal pockets and stimulate faster healing without the need for traditional surgery.
Gum Flap Surgery
For advanced cases, we gently reposition the gum tissue to reach and clean the roots and repair bone defects.
Gum Grafting
Restoring tissue where gums have receded, protecting the roots and improving the aesthetic appearance of your smile.
Periodontics FAQs
Will the treatment hurt?
Deep cleanings and surgeries are performed under local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable. Laser therapy is often even less invasive and requires minimal recovery time.
Can gum disease be cured?
Gingivitis can be fully reversed. Advanced periodontitis cannot be "cured" because lost bone doesn't regrow naturally, but it can be managed and halted to prevent tooth loss.
How long does recovery take?
Scaling usually has no downtime. Flap surgery or grafting may require 7-10 days for initial healing. Laser treatments typically heal much faster.
