Preventing Permanent Oral Damage with Gum Therapy
Gum disease is characterized by bleeding, swollen, tender gums, persistent foul breath, and other unpleasant symptoms. Left untreated, gum disease can cause tooth loss and has been linked to heart problems, respiratory issues, and birth complications. Regular visits to the dentist allow us to keep track of your gum health and provide intervention as necessary for infected gums, like scaling and root planning, also called a “deep cleaning”. Our soft tissue laser reduces discomfort and speeds healing times for gum disease treatment in Evergreen and nearby areas.

Scaling & Root Planing
If you’re experiencing mild to severe gum disease symptoms, we may suggest a deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing. This is a two-step process that allows us to drastically minimize the presence of harmful oral bacteria and even potentially reverse the condition. First, we’ll remove all plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gumline. We’ll then smooth out the roots, allowing your gums to healthily reattach to the teeth.
Arestin Antibiotic Therapy
Treating gum disease doesn’t stop at a deep cleaning treatment; in order to fight the infection and give the mouth a chance to heal, we’ll need to perform antibiotic therapy using Arestin. Numerous microspheres are placed in your gum pockets, where they will slowly release the medication over time. This prevents bacteria from growing back so that the gums can repair themselves and bond with the tooth roots again. Antibiotic therapy typically lasts for several weeks.
Soft Tissue Laser Treatment
Soft tissue laser treatment is a modern, minimally invasive solution for various gum-related procedures. This advanced technology allows for precise removal or reshaping of soft tissue with reduced discomfort, minimal bleeding, and faster healing times compared to traditional methods. It is commonly used for gum contouring, periodontal therapy, and treating oral lesions, providing a more comfortable experience with little to no need for sutures. The laser also promotes faster tissue regeneration and reduces the risk of infection, making it an excellent choice for enhancing both oral health and aesthetics.
Perio Protect
This non-invasive treatment targets gum disease by delivering antibacterial medication deep below the gumline using custom-fit trays. By effectively reducing inflammation, bleeding, and infection, it promotes healthier gums and helps prevent the progression of periodontal disease. Unlike traditional methods, this approach offers a comfortable, at-home solution for maintaining long-term oral health.
