Understanding Periodontal Disease
At SunBrite Dental in Las Vegas, Nevada, we believe that patient education is the foundation of effective care. Periodontal (gum) disease affects not only your gums but also your teeth and overall health. Left untreated, gum disease can contribute to heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Our team carefully examines your gums at every visit to identify any early warning signs and take immediate action to protect your health.
Identifying the Signs of Gum Disease
Recognizing gum disease early is key to successful treatment. Common signs include:
- Red or Swollen Gums Inflammation is an early sign of bacterial infection.
- Bleeding During Brushing or Flossing A common symptom of gum irritation and disease.
- Persistent Bad Breath Caused by bacterial buildup beneath the gum line.
- Receding Gums Gums pulling away from teeth expose sensitive roots.
- Loose or Shifting Teeth A sign that supporting bone may be weakening.
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact our office immediately at (702) 459-0303. Early treatment can stop gum disease and protect your overall health.
Effective Treatments for Gum Disease
Our periodontal treatments target both the symptoms and the root causes of gum disease. We use advanced techniques to restore gum health and maintain your comfort throughout every step of care.
- Scaling and Root Planing Deep cleaning beneath the gum line removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria.
- Antibiotic Therapy Targets stubborn infection and promotes faster healing.
- Surgical Care For advanced cases, gum surgery may be recommended to repair tissue and restore health.
