STAGES OF GUM DISEASE

Gum inflammation leads to destruction of the bone that supports your teeth.

How do I know if I have gum problems?

Most patients aren't even aware they have gum disease because there often aren't any noticeable symptoms or just very mild ones.

  • inflamed, bleeding, swollen gums
  • tartar (calculus) under the gumline
  • loose teeth
  • shifting of teeth
  • receding gums
  • longer appearance of teeth
  • exposed roots
  • bad breath
  • foul taste in mouth
  • dark spaces around dental work
  • very often no symptoms at all

What are the signs and symptoms of gum disease?


Gum recession happens when the bone that supports your teeth is destroyed by bacteria and germs.

  •   red, bleeding, or swollen gums
  •   tartar stuck on roots of teeth
  •   bone loss and gum shrinks
  •   teeth loosen and fall out

What are the risks of ignoring my gum disease?

Poor dental health can make you sick.

gum specialist in Boca Raton advises on health risks of periodontal disease and bleeding gums

Losing your teeth is bad enough, but did you know that untreated gum problems can shorten your life? Gum disease has been shown to increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, certain types of cancers, and increased difficulty with diabetic control. Taking charge of your gum disease and dental problems will help protect your overall health!

How our advanced laser gum treatment system works to help save your teeth


STEP 1:

Above the gum line - visible plaque and bacterial calculus are cleaned out.

  •   numbing with local anesthetic
  •   germs and toxins flushed
  •   tartar deposits removed
  •   teeth roots are smoothed
  •   gum pockets measured
  •   preparation for deeper treatment


above the gum line: the first step involves deep cleaning of toxic bacterial plaque, tartar, and calculus stuck on the teeth


STEP 2:

Below the gum line - our laser and cleaning instruments blast away deposits stuck under the gumline removing deeper infection

  •   laser cleans out gum pockets
  •   removes tartar below the gumline
  •   disinfects and kills germs
  •   promotes healing
  •   helps gums re-attach
  •   deeper treatment of gum disease


below the gum line: our laser with special cleaning instruments blast away disease-causing deposits.

Traditional surgery vs. minimally-invasive laser gum treatment

Laser gum treatment now permits treatment without cutting or stitching and with minimal discomfort following the procedure.

Traditional gum surgery

  •  Cutting and removal of gum tissue
  •  More invasive procedure
  •  Many stitches usually needed
  •  Post-operative bleeding common
  •  Leaves large spaces between teeth
  •  May cause further gum recession
  •  Recovery can take some time

Laser gum treatment

  •  No scalpel or cutting of gum
  •  Minimally invasive procedure
  •  No stitching required
  •  Post-op bleeding uncommon
  •  Preserves gum between teeth
  •  Gum recession usually minimal
  •  Back to regular activities same day

What else besides laser gum surgery can be done to fix my receding gums?

Sometimes gum recession and exposed roots with dark spaces between the teeth can be seen even in an otherwise healthy mouth. Receding gums can be caused by orthodontic treatment, night-time clenching and grinding during sleep, or excessive toothbrushing or other trauma. Other solutions may be more appropriate for you than laser gum surgery.
