Non-Surgical Gum Disease Treatments

Fight Back Against Gum Disease

If your gums are causing you pain, schedule an appointment at Midtown Dental Clinic right away. We offer professional, non-surgical treatments for your gums before any major diseases can set in.

Understanding Your Gums' Health

The gums, ligaments, and bone around your teeth form their foundation. This structure is also referred to as the periodontium. When the periodontium is not healthy, it puts the health of your teeth in jeopardy.

Signs of potential gum disease in the periodontium include the following:

• Changes in the position or bite of your teeth
• Gums that are pulled away from the tooth
• Gums that are red and bleed easily
• Loose teeth
• Persistent bad breath

If you experience any of these symptoms, please call us right away to schedule an exam. Early treatment can prevent tooth loss and a lot of pain!

The Appropriate Treatment for Periodontal Disease

At Midtown Dental Clinic, we offer treatments involving a deep cleaning or root planing done under local anesthetic, along with antibiotic agents. If the gum disease has become too severe, it may need to be treated through surgery or tooth extraction. Please call for an appointment.
