When your body senses threats like infections, lacerations, or foreign bacteria, it is designed to rush to protect the area being threatened. The inflammatory response in healthy individuals kills off bacteria and helps to speed healing.
Unfortunately, when it comes to infections in your mouth, treatment can be a little more complicated. When your body detects plaque, tartar and bacteria in your mouth, instead of actively attacking the bacteria, it starts to protect itself by backing away. If the early stages of gum disease are left untreated, gums will recede away from the teeth, which can trigger a variety of other dental and oral health problems.
Thankfully, our Doctor offers treatment for any stage of periodontal disease to help your gums and the rest of your body heal.
Pinhole Gum Therapy
Receding gums can weaken your teeth, cause root damage and even leading to tooth loss. Through Pinhole Gum Therapy, receding gums are stabilized without using traditional surgical procedures such as cutting, grafting and stitches. This minimally invasive procedure can restore years to your smile and improve your overall health.
Gum Treatments
Gum disease increases your risk of systemic health problems, making it more difficult for your immune system to do its job. Ask our Doctors how non-surgical periodontal therapy can help prevent serious health problems like heart disease, pneumonia, premature labor, and more.
