Smile Confidently With Gum Disease Treatment

Our team only wants the best for all of our patients. That’s why we offer our gum disease treatment. If left untreated, gum disease has the potential to cause pain and even tooth loss in its later stages. It is not a condition to take lightly.

To combat gum disease and put your gums on the road to health again, we can perform a two-part treatment. You may need to have this treatment done every few months to remain free of gum disease. We will use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable, but you can also receive sedation if you need it. The treatment consists of:

Scaling – We’ll gently remove built-up plaque and tartar from around and below your gumline.
Root Planing – We’ll smooth your teeth roots to help prevent bacteria from collecting there.

In addition, you’ll want to make sure you stay on top of your at-home dental hygiene. That means brushing twice a day for two minutes each time, and flossing once a day to remove food particles from between your teeth. These habits will help keep your teeth and gums in great shape.

Call Studerus Dental today at 360-205-5743 if you think you might need nonsurgical gum disease treatment in Belfair. We look forward to helping you maintain a beautiful, healthy smile!

Common Questions About Nonsurgical Gum Disease Treatment

What is nonsurgical gum disease treatment?

Gum disease can be treated in a variety of ways, but the most conservative method is with a deep cleaning known as scaling and root planing. This is where we remove infection caused by bacterial plaque below and around your gumline, and then smooth out your tooth roots so bacteria doesn’t return.

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that builds up around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating “pockets” where more bacteria accumulate. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and possibly fall out.

Is gum disease treatment painful?

Your gum disease treatment should be completely comfortable. We’ll numb your gums, so you don’t feel any discomfort or pain during your treatment. In addition, if you’re nervous about your procedure, we offer three forms of sedation for relaxing care. Choose inhaled sedation using laughing gas or oral conscious sedation with a small pill. For more severe anxiety, you can receive IV sedation, which puts you in a sleeplike state.
