PERIODONTAL TREATMENT
The secret to having healthy teeth is giving your gums the proper maintenance. Healthy gums are essential to maintain strong teeth and a beautiful smile. This is why we recommend getting a complete dental checkup every six months, including gum disease treatment when necessary.
Gum disease is more common than you might think. It actually affects millions of Americans. At some point in life, everyone has suffered bad breath, pain,and bleeding. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, can lead to not only tooth loss, but it is also associated with diabetes and heart disease.

Indication Of Gum Disease
You could be a patient for gum disease without even realizing. Most periodontal issues are silent and you do not even know when you have them until the disease has reached an advanced state.
These are some indications of gum disease that require periodontal treatment:
- Red and swollen gums
- Painful gums or discomfort while chewing
- Bleeding gums or with pus
- Receding gums
- Heightened tooth sensitivity
- Chronic bad breath
- Mouth sores
- Change in bite
If you have one or more of these symptoms, you should visit your dentist as soon as possible. Book an appointment with Dr. Thompson so that he can early detect any potential condition and uproot it. Millions of people out there are suffering from gum disease and they don’t even know it. This infection can lead to tooth loss if not treated on time.

Win Over Gum Disease
When you first visit our office, Dr. Thompson will physically examine you searching for any indication of periodontal disease. If he finds that you need gum disease treatment, we will perform a procedure known as root planing and scaling.
The gingival pockets are bacteria’s favorite place to live so we examine those at once. We might suggest a better oral hygiene and some antibiotics to improve your dental health.
When gum disease is detected early, it gets fixed really easily. Treatment is really comfortable at Scottsdale Dental Center. If you are suffering from a more severe form of periodontal disease, we apply other procedures:
- Gum grafting
- Periodontal surgery
- Tooth removal
Dr. Thompson will sit down with you to discuss the most appropriate procedure for your particular case.
