What Is Gum Disease?
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting structures around your teeth. It often begins as gingivitis and can progress into more advanced periodontal disease if left untreated.
Early treatment is essential to protect your teeth, gums, and overall health.
Signs You May Have Gum Disease
Many patients don't realize they have gum disease until it becomes more advanced.
Common symptoms include:
• Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Gum recession or teeth appearing longer
• Loose or shifting teeth
• Pain while chewing
• Pus between the teeth and gums
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a periodontal evaluation as soon as possible.
Why Treat Gum Disease?
Untreated periodontal disease can lead to serious complications beyond your smile.
Treatment can help:
• Stop the progression of infection
• Prevent tooth loss
• Reduce gum inflammation
• Improve bad breath
• Protect the jawbone supporting your teeth
• Support better overall health
Research has also shown connections between periodontal disease and conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and other systemic health concerns.
Our Periodontal Treatments
At Carson & Acasio Dentistry, we customize treatment based on the stage of your gum disease and your individual needs.
Treatment options may include:
• Comprehensive periodontal evaluations
• Deep cleanings (Scaling & Root Planing)
• Periodontal maintenance cleanings
• Antibiotic therapy when appropriate
• Ongoing monitoring and preventive care
Our goal is to stop the infection, promote healing, and help you maintain healthy gums for years to come.
What Is Scaling and Root Planing?
Scaling and root planing, often called a deep cleaning, is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for gum disease.
This procedure involves:
• Removing plaque and tartar below the gumline
• Smoothing the tooth roots to discourage bacteria buildup
• Helping the gums reattach to the teeth
• Reducing inflammation and pocket depth
Many patients notice healthier gums and improved comfort after treatment.
Preventing Gum Disease
The best way to prevent periodontal disease is through consistent preventive care.
We recommend:
• Brushing twice daily
• Flossing every day
• Regular professional cleanings
• Routine dental exams
• Addressing symptoms early before they worsen
Our team will also provide personalized home care recommendations to help keep your gums healthy.
