Treating Gum Disease

Gum disease, also called periodontis, leads to tooth loss. Most dentists attribute gum disease to improper oral hygiene but other factors like chronic disease, medications, and diet can affect it. We treat gum disease with several options in hopes of saving your teeth.

Gum Disease Symptoms

Gum disease affects three areas which are gums, teeth, and breath

Gum symptoms include inflamed gums, bleeding, and the gums pulling away from the teeth

Teeth may be sensitive to hot and cold or become loose.

The breath may smell bad constantly.

The Cost of Treating Gum Disease

Those with gum disease have a range of treatment options with the choice depending on the severity. Some surgeries and treatments can cost thousands but maintained treatments may only cost $115 per treatment. We can advise you on costs once we know what treatments are needed to treat your periodontitis. Insurance covers many of the treatment costs, depending on your policy.

Treating Gum Disease

Treating gum disease is easier when it's caught early. The simplest treatment is deep teeth cleaning, which the dentist or hygienist cleans under the gums as well as the tooth surface. There are surgeries like a gingival graft, pocket reduction surgery, and guided tissue regeneration for those with severe cases.
