Comprehensive Periodontal Treatment
Protect your gums and preserve your smile with advanced care for gum disease.
Personalized Care for Gum Health
Healthy gums are essential for a healthy smile. Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a progressive infection that can damage the gums and supporting bone if left untreated.
At Y2K Dentistry, we provide personalized periodontal treatment to stop infection, reduce inflammation, and protect your long-term oral health.
Understanding Periodontal Disease
Gum disease begins with plaque buildup along the gumline. If not removed, bacteria can cause inflammation (gingivitis), which may progress into periodontitis — a more serious condition affecting bone support.
Common symptoms include:
- Bleeding gums
- Red or swollen gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession
- Loose teeth
Early diagnosis allows for more effective and less invasive treatment.
Targeted Care for Healthier Gums
Depending on the severity, treatment may include:
- Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning)
- Localized antibiotic therapy
- Laser-assisted gum therapy
- Ongoing periodontal maintenance
The goal is to remove harmful bacteria and allow the gums to heal properly.
What to Expect
Comprehensive gum evaluation and measurements
Removal of plaque and tartar below the gumline
Smoothing of root surfaces to prevent bacteria buildup
Follow-up visits to monitor healing
Regular maintenance appointments help prevent recurrence.
Why Gum Health Matters
Gum disease has been linked to systemic health concerns such as heart disease and diabetes. Maintaining healthy gums supports overall wellness.
