Gum Disease Treatments

While many people associate bleeding gums with gum disease, it’s more common that as gum disease begins there are no warning signs at all. At Bowles Dental, our gum disease dentists can catch perio disease early and offer a variety of highly effective treatment options:

  • Deep cleanings – A deep cleaning goes above and beyond what you get during a standard cleaning. We’ll remove bacterial buildup from above the gum line to reduce gum inflammation and to prevent the spread of gum disease.
  • ARESTIN – Microspheres containing a powerful antibiotic can be used to kill the bacteria that cause gum disease. Often used in conjunction with a deep cleaning treatment.

Owner

“Gum disease treatments have come such a long way in recent years. Not only can we do more than ever before to prevent gum disease, but we can cure it without invasive surgery. There’s never been a better time to take control of your periodontal health.”

Gum Disease & Your Health

Gum disease is caused by bacteria that inflame and infect the gum tissue in your mouth. Preventing gum disease starts with eating a diet that’s low in refined sugar, brushing/flossing daily, and keeping up with your regular dental exams and checkups. Early detection is key and left untreated, gum disease can affect your health in many ways:

  • Gum disease is the #1 leading cause of preventable tooth loss in adults.
  • Advanced periodontitis near a dental implant can lead to implant failure.
  • Diabetic complications, strokes, and heart disease are linked to periodontal disease.
