Gum Therapy

Gum disease (also known as periodontitis and pyorrhea) is an inflammatory condition that affects the supporting and surrounding soft tissues of the tooth, eventually affecting the jawbone itself in the disease’s most advanced stages.

 

The most common precursor to periodontal disease is gingivitis, a bacterial inflammation of the gum tissue. The gums become infected with bacteria when the toxins in plaque begin to irritate and inflame the gum tissues. Once this bacterial infection establishes a colony in the gum pockets between the teeth, it becomes considerably more difficult to remove and treat.

 

Gum disease can develop slowly and without symptoms, but if it’s left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems. Fortunately, we have an assortment of items that can help you maintain healthy gums and beautiful teeth.

 

Warning Signs and Symptoms of Periodontal Disease:

 

  • When teeth and gums are brushed and flossed, they bleed.
  • Loose or wobbly teeth
  • Teeth suddenly look longer
  • Had previous gum problems

 

Treating Gum Disease

 

Methods of periodontal treatment vary on the nature and severity of the disease. Garden Valley Team and Dr. Antolin will assess the presence of periodontal disease and prescribe the most effective gum therapy and treatment.

When I first moved here in 2017 this was the first dental office I went to and have been going to ever since! Dr.Antolín and her staff are super sweet and the place always has a comforting environment. I’ve had many good experiences here.

I love this dentist, how many people do you hear that from? Very gentle hands, I usually dread the shots but Dr Antolin puts me at ease and I barely feel it! I highly recommend this place.

My son loves that office because of TV, treasure box and the nice. I am just glad as a mother that my kid is not afraid of the dentist. I personally love the fact that the office is always clean at all my visits. I recommend her to all my friends and family. I trust her as a dentist.
