Periodontal Care at Amazon Creek Dental

Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong, beautiful smile. At Amazon Creek Dental, we provide comprehensive periodontal care to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease. Our personalized treatments help protect your gums and teeth, improving your oral health and overall well-being.

What is Periodontal Care?

Periodontal care focuses on maintaining the health of your gums and supporting structures around your teeth. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, can develop when plaque and bacteria accumulate, leading to inflammation and infection. Left untreated, it can cause gum recession, tooth loss, and even impact your overall health.

Our periodontal care services are designed to keep your gums healthy and address any signs of disease before they progress.

Signs You May Need Periodontal Care

Gum disease can develop gradually and often without pain. Common signs to watch for include:

  • Red, swollen, or tender gums.
  • Bleeding while brushing or flossing.
  • Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth.
  • Receding gums or teeth appearing longer.
  • Loose teeth or changes in bite alignment.

If you experience any of these symptoms, our team is here to provide expert care and guidance.

Our Periodontal Care Services
  1. Preventive Cleanings
    • Regular dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, preventing gum disease before it starts.
  2. Scaling and Root Planing
    • For patients with early-stage gum disease (gingivitis or mild periodontitis), scaling and root planing offer a deep cleaning below the gumline. This non-surgical treatment removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria to promote healing.
  3. Gum Disease Treatment
    • For advanced cases, we offer targeted treatments to control infection and restore gum health. This may include antimicrobial therapy, laser treatments, or referral to a specialist if needed.
  4. Ongoing Maintenance
    • Patients recovering from gum disease benefit from regular periodontal maintenance appointments. These cleanings are tailored to keep gums healthy and prevent further issues.
Why Periodontal Care Matters

Gum disease isn’t just a dental issue—it can impact your overall health. Research has linked periodontal disease to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. By prioritizing gum health, you’re not only protecting your teeth but also safeguarding your overall well-being.

How to Keep Your Gums Healthy

Preventive care and good oral hygiene are key to maintaining healthy gums:

  • Brush and floss daily to remove plaque and food particles.
  • Use an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce bacteria.
  • Schedule regular dental checkups to monitor your gum health.
  • Avoid smoking, which significantly increases your risk of gum disease.
