Gum Disease Treatment Kingman
Heal Your Gums, Rescue Your Smile
Your gums play a vital role in the success and longevity of your smile. Your teeth need something to protect their roots. This is where your soft oral tissues come into play. If they are inflamed, red, or bleeding, this means a serious problem is forming – gingivitis. Without timely treatment to reverse the symptoms, the infection can spread, potentially affecting your overall health by entering the bloodstream. Keep your smile bright and your gums healthy by calling us the moment you notice any of these initial symptoms.

Scaling & Root Planing
The two-part process known as scaling and root planing is effective when addressing the early stages of gum disease. The removal of accumulated plaque and tartar, as well as the smoothing and reshaping of your tooth roots, removes the source of infection, minimizes the potential for reinfection, and encourages the gums to heal and firmly reattach to your teeth.
Antibiotic Treatment
Addressing gum disease often requires more than deep cleaning. We often pair it with antibiotic treatment because of its ability to reach the smallest areas of your mouth and effectively eliminate bad bacteria. The medication disperses over two weeks to thoroughly rid the tissues of any harmful particles that may be left behind.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
Targeting diseased tissues to remove bacteria and encourage gum healing is the goal of laser periodontal treatment. The soft tissue laser efficiently removes the buildup responsible for the infection and inflammation while leaving all healthy portions of your mouth untouched. It’s gentle, and there’s almost no bleeding and swelling, which means you’ll enjoy a faster recovery at home.
PerioProtect
PerioProtect is a revolutionary way to treat gum disease in the comfort of your home. Using custom impressions of your mouth, we’ll have trays crafted for you to use along with prescription medication. When worn for a few minutes each day, the medicine will disperse to the infection site and reach bacteria in areas that flossing, brushing, and rinsing cannot.
