From Gum Tenderness to Treatment

What Is Gum Disease?

Periodontitis, or gum disease, is a serious infection caused by poor oral hygiene and plaque buildup that hardens into tartar. It can lead to inflammation, bleeding, gum recession, and tooth sensitivity. If left untreated, it damages soft tissues and affects overall oral health. At My Tooth Docs, we offer comprehensive treatments to restore and maintain healthy gums.

The Warning Signs of Gum Disease

Safeguard Your Oral Health with Timely Care

To prevent gum disease, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene and schedule routine dental checkups twice a year. However, factors such as age, smoking, diet, and genetics can elevate your risk for periodontal disease, making an annual periodontal evaluation necessary. We will evaluate your teeth, plaque levels, gums, bite, bone structure, and other risk factors to identify gum disease symptoms early, which is vital for safeguarding oral health.

In some cases, a deep cleaning may suffice, but if pockets have developed, osseous surgery or other procedures might be necessary. At My Tooth Docs, we offer competitive pricing, accept various insurance plans, and collaborate with third-party financing companies to make restorative gum tissue treatment more accessible. Our goal is to restore your gum health in a warm and welcoming environment using the least invasive and most affordable methods.

We Provide Deep Cleanings to Protect Your Oral Health

We offer scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from teeth and below the gum line, helping prevent gum disease. This deep cleaning promotes gum reattachment, healing, and reduced inflammation. Our team ensures your comfort throughout the procedure. Proactive care like this supports long-term oral health and a confident smile.
