Periodontal disease comes from the decay of gum tissue near the tooth line and can be prevented by thorough, specialized cleaning by our team. Diseases like gingivitis or periodontitis can cause pain and further decay around the infection site — and can even lead to more extreme complications like heart disease!
Periodontal treatment and maintenance are crucial parts of your overall oral health, and it is best to put your trust in the professional team here at Spanish Springs Family Dental. Some common periodontal treatments include:
Gingivitis is a serious infection of the gums that, if left untreated, may cause severe tooth decay and potentially even tooth loss. We offer a specialized cleaning service to remove plaque along the gumline that leads to gingivitis.
When your gums become inflamed by plaque, they pull away from the teeth and form infection-prone cavities called pockets. Scaling and root planing remove the hardened plaque from your teeth and encourage the gum to reattach to the root.
As part of your regular cleanings, our team will also perform a specialized cleaning of your gums near the teeth to ensure there is no plaque underneath the gum that could become inflamed and cause pain and irritation.

Periodontal treatment is necessary to keep the portion of your teeth hidden by your gumline clean and healthy.
While it may not be visible in your daily life, patients who go without routine periodontal maintenance are at risk of providing harmful bacteria a place to grow and cause issues later on.
Gingivitis, painful swelling and decay, and even — in extreme cases — oral cancer are all grim realities of a lack of periodontal health; our dentist and team are here to prevent that from happening.
