Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Left untreated, chronic gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone shrinkage, and a host of other health problems.
Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It’s typically caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque — a sticky film of bacteria — to build up on the teeth and harden.
At SiRa Dentistry, our dental team will screen for periodontal disease and recommend appropriate soft tissue treatment if necessary. Not only does your smile benefit, but your overall wellness does as well.
Inflammation limited to the gums. Reversible with professional treatment and improved home care.
Infection spreads below the gum line, damaging the bone and tissue that support your teeth.
Thorough removal of plaque and tartar above and below the gum line to eliminate infection-causing bacteria.
Non-surgical deep cleaning that smooths root surfaces to help gums reattach and prevent bacteria buildup.
Regular follow-up cleanings (every 3-4 months) for patients with a history of gum disease to keep it under control.
Targeted antibiotic treatments applied directly to infected gum pockets to eliminate stubborn bacteria.
Research shows periodontal disease is connected to many serious health conditions.
Gum disease bacteria can enter the bloodstream and contribute to cardiovascular problems.
Gum disease can make blood sugar harder to control, and diabetes increases gum disease risk.
